bummer. the fix is in jswdk and pertains to a few jdk 1.1.x
java.io.File methods (eg getAbsolutePath()) which did not
norm the file seperator per the jdk standards. in jswdk, this
caused some subsequent string.equals() tests to fail.
the fix was to pass suspect File paths through a string
translation routine. in jswdk we introduced this call in 3
or 4 locations.
i guess it is possible that there are other calls which can
return erroneous calls on othe vendor provided vm's with
which we didn't catch but none-the-less i'm a bit suprised
this bug persists.
thx for the info. i'll keep my eyes open on this one.
