Bug#376024: junit: FTBFS: caught an unexpected exception

[Daniel Schepler]

Package: junit
Version: 3.8.1.1-6
Severity: serious

From my pbuilder build log:

...
(cd src;/usr/lib/kaffe/bin/javac -target 1.3 -classpath . -d ../classes junit/*/*.java)
Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.
Please check your CLASSPATH and your installation.

I don't know whether this is actually a bug in junit, kaffe, ecj-bootstrap,
classpath, or maybe something else entirely.  Feel free to reassign as
appropriate.
