------- Additional Comments From tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-02-18 23:10 ------- There is a special case in "putfield" for setting a field before the object reference has been initialized -- this is valid in some cases. This bug occurs because we aren't properly checking all the preconditions of this special case.
I have a patch for gcc, I will write one for the runtime shortly. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20056
