You see this a lot with some of the later Navigators. I am puzzled
also. It must be their verifier is rejecting bytecodes (that it
shouldn't reject.)

I think it's a Netscape bug, but I know that isn't a good answer. You can
use the Java plugin to use the standard Java VM. See
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin

The verifier is explained in an (old) paper by Frank Yellin,
http://java.sun.com/sfaq/verifier.html

I'm sure that by now, Netscape has modified the verifier in many ways.
