>Description:
gcj does not terminate when compiling the following class:

class BugObject extends Object;

It does generate an error message but after that just hangs.

$ gcj -C BugObject.java 
BugObject.java:1: '{' expected.
   class BugObject extends Object;
                                 ^

This does actually occur in the Jacks testsuite which means that we cannot run that testsuite since the test harness never kills the compiler.
