    David,

    I did it on Linux with this:

    java version "1.3.1_06"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_06-b01)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_06-b01, mixed mode)

    That doesn't work. I have now upgraded to:

    java version "1.3.1_07"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_07-b02)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_07-b02, mixed mode)

    That doesn't work either. On a Solaris Sparc I tried with the following:

    java version "1.3.1_02"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)

    That works fine. I don't understand.

    Werner.
