Could anyone try to reproduce / confirm this issue?

For example this code compiled with gcj crashes (i.e. application stops printing numbers) as soon as the mouse pointer is moved on the application window.

I guess this bug is related to classpath and I hope it will be fixed in 0.97.2 merge.

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Random;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.Timer;

public class TestCase extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
  private JLabel label;
  private NumberFormat formatter;
  private Timer t = new Timer(250, this);
  private Random r = new Random();
  public TestCase(JFrame f) {

    formatter = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
    formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(3);
    formatter.setMaximumFractionDigits(3);
    label = new JLabel();
    label.setBounds(10, 10, 150, 50);
    add(label);
    t.start();
  }

  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    float num = r.nextFloat() * 1500;
    String str = formatter.format(num);
    label.setText(str);
  }

  private static void createAndShowGUI() {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("TestCase");
    frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    final TestCase tc = new TestCase(frame);
    tc.setOpaque(true);
    frame.setContentPane(tc);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setSize(250, 100);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        createAndShowGUI();
      }
    });
  }
}
