It reads to me that the static initializer tries to set up the table such that
`valueOf(refKind, isInterface)` should find the proper kind to return except
this:
// There is not a specific Kind for interfaces
if (kind == VIRTUAL) kind = INTERFACE_VIRTUAL;
This changes the entry for `REF_invokeVirtual` to kind `INTERFACE_VIRTUAL`. Do
you know why? If this entry is set to VIRTUAL, then each refKind has two
entries in the table corresponding to the correct result for `valueOf`.
