Clues to look at ... where are you using a string buffer (or concatenating
Strings ?) Some thing either in init or called by init.
Give up yet? Time for the java debugger...
apletviewer -dbg SubjectSearch.html
If the bugaboo rears it's head while the debugger is on, the "(compiled
code) " is replaced by actual line numbers, pinpointing the limne where the
jvm realized it was in a jam ( sometimes the previous line is to blame. )
This turns off java security - so if the errors don't show up that's another
clue.
hope this helps
