We are getting occasional failures in the GregorianCalendar routines. For some inexplicable reason it is full of floating point calculations. Every so often, one of these calculations is wildly incorrect, and we get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (when looking up the month in an array). We have a little bit of trace showing one of the statements returning 0 or 9223372036854775807 sometimes (instead of an expected result of a few thousand). This problem has not yet reached my highest priority, but probably will one day. We have seen it with both jdk 1.1.7 and jdk 1.1.8 on FreeBSD 2.2.8 (a.out version, of course). Stephen.
