Mike,
Here's what I've found after a brief look:

That's not something I've seen before. I'll try to isolate a smaller test.

While I don't yet know what's wrong here, I noticed that when running
the checker on a single file (and using -sourcepath so javac can find
the rest), these errors do not occur (and there are test cases for it
that don't fail). I'm looking into it now.

I have a fix for this one. It was caused specifically by the
expression "boolean.class"; I fixed it for this and also for
expressions like "boolean[].class". I'll put it in SVN asap -- the
checker run just finished without any crashes a second ago.
(Also, it seems like the long delay is caused mainly by checking
"FunctionBinary.java", which is ~17k lines. You can use "-Afilenames"
to see which files are being checked.)
