The above issue will probably be solved in an upcoming sablevm release.
They often ship with untested GNU Classpath CVS snapshots which they
call sablevm-classpath. The above was a small bug we fixed before the
official GNU Classpath release. Apparently it is possible to make
sablevm use stable well tested GNU Classpath releases.
http://sablevm.org/lists/sablevm-devel/2004-November/000223.html
It would be a good idea to fix the sablevm packages so they use this
option by default in Debian against the latest official classpath
package to prevent hitting these kind of bugs in unreleased/untested
sablevm-classpath drops.

Cheers,

Mark
