We (OK, Hal ;) fixed BigInteger [1], and a problem with inner classes of inner classes which subclass other inner classes was trivially worked around by Tavin in the new Client. Unfortunately it seems that GCJ sucks. Under heavy load it will start doing nasty things, IIRC, and the crypto is slow compared to IBM. (Long ago I wrote a semicomplete GMP implementation of the MPN support, which really helped. I'll forward it to them ASAP.) It's probably sufficient to run an average node, though, and I'm optimistic that its performance and stability will improve. [1] They haven't yet committed the fix to BigInteger(byte[]), AFAICT. I'll bother them about it today -- he said he'd put it in his TODO. -- "...it must be held that third-party electronic monitoring, subject only to the self-restraint of law enforcement officials, has no place in our society..."
