Hi Don & Raj, This is the first report I've heard of this. Would you mind filing an issue in the GWT issue tracker?
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list Besides the usual stuff (GWT version, OS version, shell), if you can include the command lines you are using or any insight as to why this might be happening on your machine it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Eric.
