The following test crashes Linux VM, which is run with JIT:

----------------------------- test.java ------------------------

public class test {
   public static void main( String[] argv ) {
      String s1=null;
      String s2=new String("Some string");
      try {
        s2.concat(s1);
      } catch (NullPointerException e) {
         System.out.println("OK.");
      }
   }
}

-------------------------------- output --------------------------

linux-2 kdos/test> /public/jdk/jdk1.2.2/linux/bin/java -fullversion
java full version "1.2.2-RC1"
linux-2 kdos/test> /public/jdk/jdk1.2.2/linux/bin/java
-Djava.compiler=javacomp test
Segmentation fault
linux-2 kdos/test>

------------------------------------------------------------------

Being run without JIT VM does everything well:

-------------------------------- output --------------------------

linux-2 kdos/test> /public/jdk/jdk1.2.2/linux/bin/java -Djava.compiler=none
test
Warning: JIT compiler "none" not found. Will use interpreter.
OK.
