Hi all,
attached is my fix to make ant (I think) work again with Classpath, fixing the bug reported by Jim Pick here [1]
Citing myself [2]:
this is a typical java library bug, and I've both produced and fixed a couple of those myself ;) You get an infinite recursion through calling overridden methods. Class A in library implements public methods b and c, where b internally (and of course undocumentedly ;) calls c. Class B from some user of the library extends A and overrides c to call b. When the user calls the method b of class B it goes straight into an infinite loop.
The fix is to avoid calling overridable methods from overridable methods, and to delegate those calls to internal, non-overridable versions of the methods.

* libraries/javalib/java/util/Hashtable.java: (internalcontainsValue) new method. (contains, containsValue) delegate to internalContainsValue.

And this time, I even attached the patch! ;)
Yeah, the ChangeLog doesn;t look Classpath-ish enough.
