I can reproduce the bug. Thats kind of strange as the author of jfreechart did some nice graphics with it running on a classpath based VM as he is a GNU classpath submitter too. It all looked fine. He also did several runs with statcvs and submitted patches to statcvs to make it work with free runtimes. I think this just a small issue in GNU classpath that can be easily fixed. Can you please file a bug with testcase into GNU classpath bugzilla? Cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
