I guess my point was that I just don't like the status quo - where some software doesn't work, so it gets stuck in contrib, and the people trying to make the JVMs work don't get a bug report. Since one of the things I want to do with Kaffe is to try to run it against as much software as possible, I'd really love to get the bug reports.
