It does not happen on "HelloWorld" kind of programs, no. I tried to
run the gnu-classpath examples by executing:

/usr/java/bin/sablevm
-c/usr/java/share/sablevm-classpath/examples/examples.zip
gnu.classpath.examples.awt.Demo

Until now, this worked only once, just by repeatingly trying(?!).
After pressing the "Cursors" button the program crashed with a
segmentation fault though.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to try this on x86, because ./configure
complains about me having wrong versions of gtk+  on my RH9

So removing the --enable-debugging-features would remove the assertion
feature completely? Shouldn't assertion be a command line option, like
it is with Sun's JVM?
