Linux/x86
>Description:
Compile this with "gcj -c -O2 Demo.java":

  class Demo
  {
    final synchronized void foo() { return; }
    void bar()
    {
      foo();
      synchronized (this) { return; }
    }
  }

The result is:

  Demo.java: In class `Demo':
  Demo.java: In method `Demo.bar()':
  Demo.java:9: internal error: Segmentation fault
  Please submit a full bug report,
  with preprocessed source if appropriate.
  See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for
  instructions.

It will work fine if you do one of:

  * Remove the "return;" in foo()

  * Remove "syncronized" in foo's prototype.

  * Remove "final" in foo's prototype.

  * Remove the call "foo()" in bar.

  * Remove the "return;" in the synchronized block in bar.

  * Remove the synchronized block in bar
    (keeping the "return" statement).

  * Put the "foo" method after "bar" instead of before.

  * Compile into java bytecode instead of machine code.

  * Don't compile the program with -O2.

I'm sorry - it is easy to find bugs but harder to fix them :( Unfortunately I know too little about GCC to help out.
