This issue is from the older thread discussing runtime failure under MacOS
9.x, but using the 1.6.98 cvs instead of 1.6.97.

Exception Occurred:

I looked into this a week or so ago, but didn't have time to document it.
There is an ex.printStackTrace call in the catch statement on line 151 of
Interpreter.java. However, I realized that I had stderr printing to a file
rather than the console, so here is the output.

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

    at

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)

I am not sure if this helps, but I will do everything I can to help get this
fixed, as I know MacOS isn't a big priority for most. However, I want to
insure that every release of Kawa works on it until Kawa requires Java 2.
