>Description:

	libgcj doesn't build proper reflection data for interpreted
classes.  The problem is that the format of the names of the exception
classes differs between native and interpreted code.  For native code
we get "LMyException;", and for interpreted code we get "MyException".
libgcj is written to expect "LMyException;".  What you end up with in
Method is a Class[] filled with null instead of a proper array of
exception classes.

>How-To-Repeat:
	I don't have a simple test case prepared.  However, all you 
need to do to trigger this is call Method.toString() on a Method
of an interpreted class which throws an exception.
>Fix:

This work-around seems useful for now.   Another fix would be to 
change the format of the meta-data emitted by the compiler.
