Cool!

I looked at LineNumberReader briefly and didn't see a bug. It does fail for
me when run with the JDK, but succeeds on Japhar+Classpath. I'll have to
dig a little deeper.

Mauve is a library test suite, not a compiler test suite. Assuming your
compiler is able to compile Mauve (which itself is an interesting case
because of the massive command line we currently use to compile) at all, it
is probably working correctly. We don't do anything fancy that would
provide much of a compiler test (to the best of my knowledge). Even
correctly compiled, Mauve will generate many errors, particularly in the
Character class, which performs a few million tests. This doesn't indicate
that the compile was wrong, but rather either a bug in the test suite or the
library being tested.

I'll have to check that out.
