Yow!

Thanks Seth.

Here's what the JDBC FAQ says. (I was curious too!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why doesn't calling class.forName() load my JDBC driver?

There is a bug in the JDK 1.1 that can cause class.forName() to fail. This
error usually only happens occasionally, and is hard to reproduce. A work
around is to call class.forName() in a loop until it succeeds.
