Sure. On sparc-solaris2.5, I'd get a SEGFAULT while
markObjectDontChecking the interface list of class [java/lang/Thread.
After I fixed it so as to avoid marking interface lists of arrays
(because they're static data, not gc_alloced), I started to get
problems in an array of methods; size was apparently miscomputed, so I
fixed it to get the size of the class object of the first method. But
then, I'd get the same problem with field, but field doesn't have a
pointer to a class, so I gave up for a while (I've got a report due to
4 PM; I had only 12 hours left then, and all I had was the .bib I had
prepared with 108 citations :-)
But I'm almost finished with it.
