All catch and finally clauses seem to result in off-by-one entries in the line number table. For example,

public class Bug2 {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            throw new Exception();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Caught!");
        } finally {
            System.out.println("Finally!");
        }
    }
}

Results in the following javap output:

Method void main(java.lang.String[])
   0 new #2 <Class java.lang.Exception>
   3 dup
   4 invokespecial #3 <Method java.lang.Exception()>
   7 athrow
   8 astore_1
   9 getstatic #4 <Field java.io.PrintStream out>
  12 ldc #5 <String "Caught!">
  14 invokevirtual #6 <Method void println(java.lang.String)>
  17 jsr 29
  20 goto 40
  23 astore_2
  24 jsr 29
  27 aload_2
  28 athrow
  29 astore_3
  30 getstatic #4 <Field java.io.PrintStream out>
  33 ldc #7 <String "Finally!">
  35 invokevirtual #6 <Method void println(java.lang.String)>
  38 ret 3
  40 return
Exception table:

     0 8 8 <Class java.lang.Exception>
     0 23 23 any

Line numbers for method void main(java.lang.String[])
   line 4: 0
   line 6: 9
   line 8: 30

The beginning of the catch clause is the astore instruction at bci 8, but that bci is associated with line 4 in the line number table. Similarly, the astore at bci 29 ought to be associated with line 8 instead of line 6.
