 Thanks, I added a Mauve tests for this, plus a related bug I found
 when looking at your test case.  (Try void.class.getSuperClass())
 I also got a failure when compiling from bytecode.
 
 The void thing is definitely a compiler bug.  I think it must be a
 regression, but I haven't looked.  `void.class' has to be rewritten to
 look up the `Void.TYPE' field.
