    Thanks John, just having others able to reproduce it without difficulty

    Thanks for the advice. I've no experience with submitting "demo code"
so this is a good thing to keep in mind. I just quickly tapped out the
problem via JBuilder and just basically "cut and pasted" my code (with a
couple of edits ... like the copyright statement). As for submitting as a
bug report. I replied to a previous post about that but yeah I used the
link near the bottom of the Bug Parade page that says "submit a bug!". No
luck on three tries. But I digress. Thanks.
