This problem shows up while running Cloudscape Database.
I have attached the files that are needed to reproduce this problem. Also
this problem shows up both on Solaris and Windows NT with JDK 1.1.8

To reproduce this problem first the install.zip.cloudscape needs to be
installed and then install.zip.cloudsync , on top of the same directory.

The class path needs to be

setenv CLASSPATH /export/cloudscape/alpha1/cloudscape/lib/tools.jar:/export/clou
dscape/alpha1/cloudscape/lib/cloudsync.jar:/export/cloudscape/alpha1/cloudscape/
lib/tools.zip:/export/cloudscape/alpha1/cloudscape/demo/programs/tours:.:${CLASS
PATH}

if /export/cloudscape/alpha1/cloudscape is the directory from where we are
installing every thing

To run this we need to go to bin directory and run ./cview.ksh

designer% ./cview.ksh
