We have (at least) one known bug with each early-adopter runtime which is not fixed yet:

7093795: JSR 292: Seph bench/bench_arithmetic.sp fails with: NoClassDefFoundError: seph/lang/SephObject
7093796: JSR 292: Rtalk test case fails with: NoClassDefFoundError: ri/core/rtalk/RtObject
7111583: JSR 292: JRuby test_respond_to.rb fails with: NoClassDefFoundError: org/jruby/runtime/ThreadContext

Some (all?) bugs root somewhere in the Java API and are difficult to fix (as far as I understand it).  All of this will go away eventually with the new implementation John is working on.
