 Thanks.  Please CC java-gnats so this ends up in the PR.
 (That's why I'm quoting the whole program in this reply...)
 
 I looked at this a bit.  It looks like a recently introduced bug in
 libgcc.  If the local Java exception expert doesn't know the problem
 offhand, I'll forward this to the appropriate gcc hackers.
 
 
 Note that your program won't work.  You don't flush or close the
 FileOutputStream before trying to read the input stream.  In essence
 you're relying on a GC between the store and the load -- unadvisable.
