RFR (s) 6583051: crash when adding non-static methods to java.lang.Object class

[Coleen Phillimore]

Thanks, David.  I did try to hack Object.java to get it to fail in other 
ways but we catch many of the things I tried with error messages.  I 
couldn't provoke a different crash.   I will fix the copyrights when I 
commit the files (and remove 1994 for Object.java).
