I applied your fix from
 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2004-11/msg00026.html
and it worked.  I tested some simple AWT/Swing apps - they still work :)

But I noticed one regression.  The Sun's "SymbolTest" you can get from
http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/java/jdk-1.2.2/demo/applets/SymbolTest/SymbolTest.java
used to work i.e. 6 months ago and even year ago.  But now I only get
increased CPU usage for a few seconds and then it stops.  Not sure
whether it's SableVM-specific, given that other tests work.
