No there is no way to confirm this any more because NBIO does not compile any more 
with the current compiler, can you try it and tell how to download NBIO and compile it?

No feedback in 3 months (T-15 days and nio have been merged into libjava already).

I apologize that no one ever responded to your July and early October emails.  I
did not realize that the Debian GCC maintainers were expecting me to keep on top
of this bug.  I will manage it myself now.

Answers to your questions:

As far as I can tell, NBIO does seem to compile with the latest gcj, at least
the version in Debian unstable (3.3.2).  I was just now able to build the
libnbio2-java package on my Debian unstable box, and it is up-to-date on all
Debian architectures other than mips, mipsel and hppa (which do not yet have the
correct version of gcj).  

The test case referenced along with the Debian bug report still fails in roughly
the same way that it did in December 2002, although the resulting stack trace
differs.

The upstream NBIO release can be downloaded from 

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/seda

Or, if you prefer, you can get the Debian source package off one of the Debian
mirrors or from my personal APT repository:

   http://cedar-solutions.com/ftp/

The Debian pacakge uses a custom shell script to build the package, since it's
rather difficult to update the NBIO Makefiles in place.  I have attached that
shell script.  

I don't think it matters that NIO has now been rolled into libjava, since NBIO
and NIO are not quite the same thing, and there are certainly users who will
continue to use NIO (especially Java 1.3 users).

What other information can I get for you?

After talking with the Debian maintainer, I have come up with a smaller test
case that I hope will be easier to use.  The test case is attached as
testcase.tar.gz, which I'll attach after I add this comment.  The .tar.gz file
contains a README file explaining what's in the resulting directory.  Basically,
I've stripped down the NBIO source code to two classes and a JNI function which
reproduces the behavior.  I don't know a lot about JNI, so I can't claim that
the code is correct, only that it compiles and that the Kaffe and Blackdown JVMs
can run it with no problems.  The problem appears to be with the definition of
the java.net.DatagramPacket object.

Reopening based on the new testcase.

Not a bug as the buf field of DatagramPacket is private so you should not be able to use 
it any way.
It just happens that ClassPath uses buffer as the name for the field rather than the same 
name as all the other JDK's but that is not a bug so closing as invalid.
