Apologies (I really needed to get some sleep).

It's not Throwable at all.

I was getting very confused.

The problem (or at least a difference from Sun's API) lies with
Character.getNumericValue(char) (I use a char lookup table to speed up
path matching).

Under Sun's code:

  int i=Character.getNumericValue('d');

makes i==13

Under Kaffe i==-1.


This is probably my own fault and something to do with charsets.

I have changed the code now to use a cast to int and that works
predictably across Sun and Kaffe.



Apologies again for the false accusation (but the bug tool *was*
broken).
