System name: starkiller
Type and version: SPARC/5 8.1.8 (with mkserv)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
run javac with the -verbose flag
What's wrong:
the wrapper script around javac eats the -verbose flag thinking
that it is part of the -ver[sion] flag I suspect. Of course
the -verbose flag does not provide the correct arguments for
the -version option so the compiler does not run.
we are trying to use this compiler in 6.170 so it would be
really helpful if this could be resolved asap.
thanks,

What should have happened:
the compiler should have run in verbose mode.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
none.
