I agree. It being a kaffe.util.Ptr is probably the bug.

The problems I had when implementing precise gc were the other way around:
something that was declared as an java.lang.Object wasn't really one.
However, this turned out not to be a problem because the gc_layout map
of each object will only say which pointers in it are used to mark
objects for gc. This only requires that the gc allocator allocated it,
not that it's a java object. Anyway, this has nothing to do with
exceptObj, I think.

There's also a -Wall error in the stack overflow additions.
