Hi,

I use 64-bit SuSE 9.0 linux with Blackdown's Java 1.4.2. For a long time 
I have not been able to run the JacORB IDL compiler on this platform due 
to an apparent VM bug. With the most recent iteration of the VM, the 
problem resolves to initializing static members in-line.

In particular the file org/jacorb/idl/parser.java causes the problem, 
which does not seem to appear elsewhere.

I have resolved this problem by replacing the in-line calls to new with 
calls inside the parser.init() method. This was already happening for all 
but one member, pending_interfaces. When I put the initialization of 
pending_interfaces into init(), everything seems to work just fine. It 
appears that all the uses of the parser do call init() before actually 
doing any work with the parser.

I've attached my diff to org/jacorb/idl/parser.java. If no one objects, I 
would like to commit this change.

Thanks,
Phil
