Without looking at the generated bytecode it is hard to say.
However I think a reasonable guess would be that this is a kissme
bug.  jikes is unlikely to optimize this test away (I think).
And it can't be a Classpath bug since the code doesn't involve a
library call (except the prints, but that is extremely unlikely to be
the problem here).
