[Advanced-java] Wierd Behavior at time of creating a thread -

[Nikolaos Giannopoulos]

Have you (or better yet) can you use 1.4.1?

Either way you may want to try it out to ensure its the VM and not the code.

As well, if you really need 1.3.X then maybe you could try out IBM's version
or somebody elses JVM of the same version.
