[Cryptix-Users] Cryptix 3.1.2 on Java 2 v1.2/1.3

[Marc Stiegler]

We have indeed run into this java.security bug in 1.3. Now I am puzzled as
to why I am not encountering it on 1.2.2 (markm, did somebody tweak E
somehow for 1.2.2?).

On Solaris I am using

Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-U, green threads, sunwjit)

and E is running fine.
