It's certainly possible, but if you were a HotJava developer working
at Sun, is that something you would worry about?

In any event, I'll get back to that later.
Which reminds me: HotJava now hangs because the AWT thread is sitting
waiting for an ALARM. I believe that could be because of the broken
kaffe.util.Timer class.
Peter, you said you had that fixed, would it be possible for you to
check that in (I assume that doesn't mean you have to fold in your
other changes -- this might be relatively self-contained.)
