A sample program:
    Collator c = Collator.getInstance();
causes an ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException on the Korean machine.
Using Collator.getAvailableLocales() shows that "ko" is an available locale/

We currently are testing on approx. 10 different languages (a mix of SBCS and
DBCS) and Korean is the only language that causes this problem.
To test further, I ran my sample program on a Japanese machine and everything
worked fine. I used the following code on the same Japanese machine:

Locale.setDefault(Locale.KOREAN);
System.out.println("New default locale: " + Locale.getDefault());
Collator c =3D Collator.getInstance();

This is the output:

New default locale: ko
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -32768
     at java.text.CompactIntArray.compact(CompactIntArray.java:180)
     at java.text.RuleBasedCollator.build(RuleBasedCollator.java:546)

If I run the same sample code on my English NT machine, I get the same
exact errors. If I change the locale (.setDefault(Locale.JAPANESE) and =
run this
on my English machine (or Korean machine), everything works fine.

The actual test case is:

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Test
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
                Locale.setDefault(Locale.KOREAN);
  System.out.println("New default locale: " + Locale.getDefault());
  Collator c =3D Collator.getInstance();
  Collator c =3D Collator.getInstance();
 }
}

This produces an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when the locale is set =
to be
Korean but works with other locales!
