bootstrap problems on Win2K

I just checked out source from CVS, and am encountering 2 errors during 
a bootstrap:

1.  NPE in PumpStreamHandler.start(): inputThread is null, since the PSH 
was constructed (from Execute) without an input argument, so inputThread 
is never initialized.  I fixed that by adding a "if ( inputThread != 
null )" as a pre-check before starting the thread.  But not really 
understanding what's going on, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate 
fix or not.

2.  Compiler error:
C:\src\jakarta\jakarta-ant\src\main\org\apache\tools\ant\taskdefs\optional\perforce\P4Submit.java:110: 
cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method split (java.util.Vector,java.lang.String)
location: class org.apache.oro.text.perl.Perl5Util
                     util.split(myarray, line);

Where should I get the org.apache.oro library from?  Is it a prereq for 
building Ant?

I merely commented out that line (since I don't need the task), and the 
rest of the bootstrap process worked fine.
