problems encountered with sablevm-1.1.7

Hi,
1. 
SimpleWrite used to work fine with 1.1.6 but in new release there appears to be 
a deadlock

/usr/local/bin/sablevm  SimpleWrite


Devel Library
=========================================
Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7pre17
Java lib Version   = RXTX-2.1-7pre17

.... hangs

2. i had compiled using real life brokeness. I want to paint Helloworld, works 
fine with 1.1.6 but gives following error with 1.1.7:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.io.PrintStream;

public class FirstAWT extends Frame
{
    private class WindowDestroyer extends WindowAdapter
    {

        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowevent)
        {
            System.exit(0);
        }

        private WindowDestroyer()
        {
        }

    }


    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        FirstAWT firstawt = new FirstAWT();
        firstawt.setVisible(true);
    }

    public FirstAWT()
    {
        setSize(400, 200);
        setBackground(Color.red);
        setTitle("My first AWT application");
        WindowDestroyer windowdestroyer = new WindowDestroyer();
        addWindowListener(windowdestroyer);
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        g.setColor(Color.black);
        g.drawString("Hello world!", 150, 50);
        System.out.println("paint called");
    }
}

Aborted

----------------
SableVM version 1.1.7
- compile date and time: 2004-12-11 15:17:59 UTC
- gcc version: 3.3.1
- 'real life brokenness' features enabled
- signal based exception detection
- copying garbage collection
- bidirectional object layout
- direct-threaded interpreter


what could be the reasons?

3. RXTXcomm.jar is not recognised when placed in /usr/local/share/sablevm-
classpath. I have to un-jar it to make it work. I thought it was possible to 
use a jar file in 1.1.7!
