Thanks for the report.  I think the correct fix is to wrap the clone
in a try-catch.  I always use jikes to build Classpath before I check
in my merges, so I'm a bit mystified as to why this got through.

Anyway, I'll check in the fix shortly.

gcj currently requires that you use the Object and Class which come
with it.  It doesn't tolerate other versions.  This is a gcj bug (at
least when generating .class files), but it hasn't yet reached the top
of anybody's list.
