Created a development build and tried it. But...

$ time echo gnu.testlet.java.lang.Character.unicode | ~/src/rvm/bin/rvm 
gnu.testlet.SimpleTestHarness -debug
Reading unicode database...

This is a development build bootstrap with a prototype build which was
build with kaffe 1.1.4 though. Some other mauve tests do run with it.
Will post a bigger report to jikesrvnm-core later.

Cheers,
