Yes, this looks like another victim of the last TVT merge.

Possibly. I'd say try a kaffeh-generated file and see where this gets
you with string.c.

I just tried CaffeineMark 3.0, and kaffe's string score is weaker than
FreeBsd's jdk port 1.1.6... So short of breaking it, there's no damage
you can do to string handling in kaffe.
