Sorry, I dont know the sablevm internals. I think it would be best to discuss
stuff here. That has the benefit that others can read the explanations too
and they are archived for later use.

I would just try to use current sablevm svn with current GNU classpath 0.18 or
CVS and look at what failures occur. The NEWS file in the GNU classpath can
give you hints on what has changed in the VM interface and where to look for.
Sometimes it happens that changes are not documented really well or at all.
Then you can only debug this.


Cheers,
Michael
