JavaClass.instanceOf(JavaClass) broken

           Summary: JavaClass.instanceOf(JavaClass) broken
           Product: BCEL
           Version: 5.0RC1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Consider:
-------
import org.apache.bcel.*;
import org.apache.bcel.classfile.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
 JavaClass a = Repository.lookupClass("Test");
 System.out.println(a.instanceOf(Repository.lookupClass("java.lang.Object")));
}
}
-------
This fine program tells us "false", i.e. "Test" is not derived from
"java.lang.Object". *sigh*
