[kaffe] Bug Report: accessing array doesn't throw NullPointerException underMIPS

[Matthew Tippett]

The quote code below has differing behaviour under a MIPS (Little 
Endian) and an intel box, both running debian.

Both are against 1.0.7, but the MIPS platform has had the following 
patch applied (which allowed it to work).

ftp://ftp.paralogos.com/pub/kaffe/mips/kaffe-1.0.7.patch_kevink_021001

public class Hello {
   public static void main(String arv[]) {
      int[][] test    = new int[1][];
      try {
         System.out.println("Getting test[0][0]");
         System.out.println("Got "+test[0][0]);
      } catch (NullPointerException e) {
         System.out.println("Caught Null POinter Exception!");
      }
   }
}
The intel box does as expected ...

        Getting test[0][0]
        Caught Null POinter Exception!
But the MIPS box does

        Getting test[0][0]
        Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.
        Please check your CLASSPATH and your installation.
        java/lang/NullPointerException
        Aborted
The java code we can work around (the code is questionable but in the 
Xerces java library.

Looking forward to working through this problem.

Regards,

Matthew
