[jdom-interest] jdom-b8 breaks b7,b6 behavior

[Matt Futterman]

I am experiencing two problems.  Neither problem occurs
when I use build 7 or build 6.  In all cases I am using the
"out-of-the-box" version of jdom-jdk11.jar, although I
successfully built the b8 version with Sun's 1.1.8 compiler,
but with the exact same runtime results in both cases.

Problem 1
------------
Message #12344 reports the same problem I am having:

When I use jdom-jdk11.jar with a 1.3x or 1.4x JVM,
I get the following VerifyError:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: org/jdom/ContentList$FilterList, method:

Problem 2
-----------
When I use jdom-jdk11.jar with the PersonalJava Emulation Environment,
(basically a 1.1.8 JVM) I get an OutOfMemoryError.

I apologize if these are known problems.  My search revealed a couple
reports of the first problem occurring, but no solutions.  Can anyone
help?

Thanks,
Matt
