Netscape 4.5 says:
Verifier error Sort.<clinit>()V: Code of a method longer than 65535 bytes
and
$ javaverify Sort
Class Sort fails
That means the array initialization is done in a class initializer and
the size of that method is to big (see
http://www.javasoft.com/docs/books/vmspec/html/ClassFile.doc.html#6253).
Even if it works for with 'appletviewer sorttest.html' (it works
for me on linux), it will *never* work with
'appletviewer http://somehost/somepath/sorttest.html' because the
verifier will check classes loaded over the network.
If you want the verifier to check local code you have to
use the -verify option (i.e. 'appletviewer -J-verify sorttest.html').
