I've noticed that in java RTTI is not used when calling a function.  For
example consider this example:

public void a()
{
  MyClass mc = new MyClass();
  b(mc);  // should call b but c is called instead
}

public void b(MyClass mc)
{
}

public void c(Object o)
{
}

In this example c is always called even if the real class is declared as a
type.

Is this known to be fixed someday?  I've tested this with jdk1.3 with
jbuilder 4
