Just tried in 3.7b5/3.9alpha image, got:
	12757->200000000

And then:

gokr at zaphod ~ $ javac Numtest.java && java Numtest
13303
200000000
gokr at zaphod ~ $ java -version
java version "1.4.2-rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
Blackdown-1.4.2-rc1)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-rc1, mixed mode)

I also don't have a newer Java installed, but anyway - my tuned Squeak
beat 1.4.2! :)
