I still have trouble to reproduce the problem. Something seems to be wrong
anyway. Could you please send me the .class files you got when it failed? I'd
like to have a look at them. Meanwhile I'll try to get the Sun 1.3.1 VM. With
the IBM 1.3 VM:
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cn130-20010609 (JIT enabled:
jitc))

I don't have any problem.

I consider that you compile this code:
public class LocalBug {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      int foo;
      for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
        try {
          foo = 1;
        } catch (Exception e) {
          continue;
        }
      }
    }
}

Thanks a lot for your help.
