jigsaw and jikes

Hi there,

I went through the archive and haven't seen this point mentioned
anywhere but I though it might be interesting.

Jikes (1.08) stops compiling Jigsaw with the following error message
(on Solaris and on NT):

$ jikes HttpBag.java

Found 4 semantic errors compiling "HttpBag.java":
