Package: gij-4.1
Version: 4.1.2-6
Severity: normal

The gij implementation of EnumMap class contains a flaw: it returns
strange java.lang.Object classes for missing elements. The error can be
demonstrated with this program:

=== Cut ===
import java.util.*;

public class Test {
        enum TestEnum {
                FIRST, SECOND
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Map<TestEnum, String> map = new EnumMap<TestEnum, 
String>(TestEnum.class);
                map.put(TestEnum.FIRST, "first");
                System.out.println(map);
                System.out.println(map.containsKey(TestEnum.SECOND));
                System.out.println(map.get(TestEnum.SECOND));
        }
}
=== Cut ===

tmp $ gcj-4.1 -C Test.java

tmp $ gij-4.1 Test
{FIRST=first}
false
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
java.lang.Object cannot be cast to java.lang.String
   at Test.main(Test.java:13)

tmp $ java Test
{FIRST=first}
false
null

=== Cut ===

As you can see, Sun Java (the last call) returns correct null, while
GNU libgcj returns bogus java.lang.Object. gij-4.2 from experimental
gives the same error.
