[Soot-list] Whole-program and allow-phantom-refs options cause soot to crash

Hi Guillaume,

Just some questions before I go digging in Shimple and various
versions of Soot.

I don't think it should be a problem for Shimple because it is
computed intra-procedurally and doesn't really care about external
refs.  

Do you get errors with "-w" instead of "-ws"?

Can you post the errors?

Thanks,
Navin.
