[dalem: Note and apology: I did not have time to reproduce this bug. It seemed
complete and genuine, so I have opted to submit it and let the development
team evaluate it.]
A simple sequence of actions in the
Zelix Klassmaster (ZKM) application has no problem when
the -nojit option is used with the Windows JDK1.1.7
but has a NullPointerException when the JIT is
used. There is no problem when the JDK1.2beta4 or
JDK1.1.6 JITs are used. The JIT in question is
3.00.072b.

The application can be downloaded from
http://www.zelix.com/klassmaster/download/ZKMEval.zip
(note: this is an attachment to this bug)

The sequence of steps is:
1) In the "Select Package Directories" dialog,
   select the directory into which ZKM has been
   expanded by pressing the ">" button. The directory
   should be the highlighted directory and
   contains the file ZKM.class. Press OK.
   Close the "Class Warnings Window" that then
   appears.
2) On the main Work Bench select the
   "Tools Obfuscate" menu option.
3) Select the "Don't change main class name" check
   box on the "Exclude Options" window. The class
   ZKM should be in the list box to the right.
   Press the Next button.
4) Press OK on the "Obfuscate Options" window.
5) If you where running JDK 1.1.7 with the -nojit
   flag then there will have been no problem. If
   the JIT was being used you will have a
   NullPointerException in compiled code.
