I have written a small test program and the result is
1) For JDK-1.1.7 all Methods in BitSet except size() are synchronized.
2) For JDK-1.2 no Method is synchronized.
If no one argues, I will remove the synchronization.

P.S: The test program uses two threads, one that allocates the
monitor, while the other calls the method. If the method call doesn't
succeed within a given time, it is assumed that the method is
synchronized. The test program (a quick hack) can be found at:
