This is a bug in ANTSR that was masked by a bug in Kaffe (kaffe wasn't
complaining when 'null' was added to the hashtable.  In
CodeGroup.activate(), only call 'flow.addClass()' for non-builtin
classes.

Let me know if that does or doesn't fix the problem.

The next edition of Janos (coming real soon now) should be much
better/easier about configuration and testing.  It will fix this
problem and a couple of race conditions.

You can ignore this.  (the kill fails because the JVMs blew up on
their own).

Good luck,
