This would be helped if the bugs were narrowed down and filed as
Classpath bugs against current CVS, rather than being largely
unhelpful stack traces against Classpath 0.97 that are difficult to
reproduce.  There are few people actively working on GNU Classpath
today so any help to reduce the leg work required to fix bugs is much
appreciated.

Reading the RVM bug, the two issues confused me.  The Class issue
seems JikesRVM specific and indeed, Classpath has been compiling javac
since it was Freed in 2006.  In fact, I'm not sure this wasn't also
fixed in a recent rvm commit; it doesn't appear in the JAPI run.  The
XML issue I thought was also seen before, but it may just be very
similar to another.  It's definitely worth filing that on Classpath as
I doubt Chris, who wrote the JAXP packages, will be monitoring RVM
issues.

Thanks,
