The other platforms that I tested on were Blackdown 1.1.7 and 1.2-pre-v2. The
initial goal was to prove or disprove whether this was platform-specific or not.
I was making arrangements to test under Windows NT as well (it was going to
require some hardware reshuffling to put up a big enough box to run our app), but
the need to do this was eliminated when it worked under both Blackdown JVMs --
this indicating that it was an IBM JVM issue.

My understanding is that JavaSoft has done some further debugging on the POST
issue, and have apparently identified the cause of this one. It's not as critical
to me yet, because I can use GET for most purposes (the number of fields on my
most complex form is still small enough that I don't overflow the
maximum URL length), but POST is really the right way to go.
