I would like to update JamVM for the icedtea 1.13 release to the 2013-11-18 revision, patch attached.
For icedtea 1.13 this update will bring in the following JamVM bug-fixes and improvements:

- JVM_NewMultiArray: element class may be an array
  http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=ec18fb9e49e62dce16c5094ef1527eed619463aa

- jtreg test java/lang/reflect/Array/ExceedMaxDim
  http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=0c1e419fa29feee086e157a15eb24763ae92e52f

- OpenJDK: Fix Local/Anonymous class checks
  http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=123e1cf425f01fd3a7d9ced3d4ff032850b98dc2

- classlibMarkThreadTerminated should return Object*
  http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=e5eba542ddc649ef387a7ab580c6a9575b9510c5

- Fix race-condition in constant-pool resolution code

- Race condition in setting up imethod table
  http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=9ec80dac5bf7551b1c95649d2f9b4b6edca59755

- GC: Minor performance improvement
  http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=8f9f9b7b55f7d9b647cb8c733837d2c547851f70

Test results:
https://gist.github.com/xranby/817621fa14862158d8a3 32bit X86 Ubuntu 12.04
No regressions observed for hotspot and langtools.
The JDK test still stops in the middle of the make check-jdk run although it is now able to run more than 1000 tests
compared to previous record of ~200 before stopping which is a major improvement.

Cheers
Xerxes
