Problems with Jikes RVM and Ubuntu 8.10

Hi,

has anyone else tried running Classpath on Ubuntu 8.10? When I run 
DaCapo antlr I'm getting a problem that a test of File.exists and then 
File.canWrite (apologies if these aren't the exact method names) is 
failing. I believe the error is the call to exists is giving a false 
positive and then the call to canWrite fails as the file doesn't exist. 
One cause may be that the errno value is 0. This affliction may be Jikes 
RVM specific as we're compiling Classpath with -m32 on Intel 64bit (the 
platform I'm testing). Before digging too deep I thought I'd ask if any 
one else had solved the same problem?

Thanks,
Ian Rogers
