Also, we've noticed incompatiblity with Symantic's JIT on win32 using
jikes. So we use jikes for dev and when we roll a production build, we
rebuild with javac. Jikes may have fixed this ( I think I heard it has
to do with sloppy spec conformance on the part of Sun/Symantec ) but I
don't know for sure. We're using jikes 0.47 and I think that's
outdated.
