I get a regression test failure

    /v/neal/j2se/test/JTwork/java/io/Serializable/defaulted/GetFieldWrite.jtr

This test checks for the default serial version UID, yet the program contains
a class literal and doesn't specify the -target option to the compiler. Since
we have changed the way class literals are processed between -target 1.2 (the
old default) and -target 1.4 or 1.5 (the new transitional and release defaults)
a change in default serial version UID is to be expected. In short, the test
is buggy.
