BUG or IO (Idiot Operator) Error?

[Bytor]

I installed Limewire v296 and I ran the program and set up everything like I have before when I used the program. The only difference is that Im using a new version of Java (1.4.1_01) than I did before (1.3.x.x.x). Here is the out put of the error. Is this a BUG that occurs with the newer JAVA, or did I set up something wrong? I have installed in 3 times and yeld the same results...

Thanks

LimeWire version 2.9.6
Java version 1.4.1_01 from Sun Microsystems Inc.

[trap_jaw]

Could be a java bug... - I would even say it's probably a java bug because the NPE is thrown in the InetAddress class that comes with the JRE.

So is this something that I would submit to Sun, or is it an incompatipility with Lime Wire and the new Java?

Thanks for the reply
