Many thanks, I hope my code won't make you evade again :-)

I've corrected the case of System.Object (but did not update the patch
yet), which herits java/lang/Object. But the verification now fails,
because System.Object does not call it's parent constructor
(java/lang/Object). Sort of chicken and egg problem.

I expect the porting of pnetlib to java a big task (reimplementation
of interal calls, problems with C# specific features not available in
java, ...). But I don't want to be pessimistic :-)
