I am talking about 1.1.5 of the JDK - I had JDK 1.1 installed, and when I ran
ICQ it tried to do a stack trace, but the anti-decompilation stuff munged all
the error messages so I couldn't see what went wrong. When I upgraded to JDK
1.1.5 (*12* megs later) it worked fine.. I haven't tested it much though..
(ie hardly at all :)

Ahh.. interesting... I am running -current

Well it seems to work fine for me. :)

Hah.. big suprise there.. :)
The JDK has been known to have dodgy networking, but tracing the bug appears
to be quite difficult.. (I can tell this because there are lots of smart
people working on it and its still broken :)
