I have the following small class:

public class FinError {

private long myMeth() {

try {
return 1L;
}
catch(StringIndexOutOfBoundsException se) {
System.out.println(se.toString());
}
finally {return 0L; }
}
}

If I try to compile it with javac on a DEC Alpha station with OSF,
, the following messages appear:

(pax10f)$ java -version
java version "1.1.6-2"
(pax10f)$ javac FinError.java

The same happens on a PC with WindowsNT 4.0:
