Ouch -- this seems to be a classic Javac bug.  I'll look into
it.

In the mean time, SymbolTokenization, CharacterTokenization,
and NameTokenization are all parts of some experimental
code I've been working on.  They got checked in by accident.
Lots more checkins are needed before they actually mean
anything...  (I hope the whole lot will be ready in the
next few days, then I'll post a full announcement -- once
I've got it compiling with oldjavac ;-).  I've removed
them from CVS, and you can safely remove them from your
build tree.

  Thomas.
