[kepler-dev] stack overflow problem in some kepler

I went ahead and updated diva.jar.
Three comments:
1) InstallShield 6.0, the expensive ($1500/year) commercial
program we use to build installers has a great bug where if the splash
screen jpg is corrupt, then YOU CAN'T SAVE THE INSTALLER PROJECT.
Obviously, this is totally lame. It kept me going for 90 minutes last
week. I reported this as a bug, but I have not yet verified if
this problem exists in InstallShield 7.0. The upshot is that these
image loading bugs are everywhere, and really a product of Java.
2) Last week when I updated diva.jar, I mentioned that I thought that
Ptolemy started up much faster with jar files than with .class files.
When I was running all demos on Thursday, it seemed like the
Web Start version brought up all the demos much more quickly than
the Windows Installer version. The primary difference is that the
Web Start version is 100% jar file based, whereas the Windows
Installer version reads the demos from disk. This could also relate
to the icon issue I alluded to last week. More experiments are
needed.
3) On Monday, I'm going to try to move the ptII cvs repository over to
the new server. More news as it develops.

I get the stack overflow error with Ptolemy II, so it isn't a Kepler
problem...
I've checked in a (partial) fix to diva. Turns out diva's class
diva.canvas.toolbox.ImageFigure had a bug where if Java fails to load
a JPG file with an error, it would get a stack overflow.
My fix is to replace the image with a generic error image.
Christopher: Can you update the diva jar?
The reason that this is only a partial fix is that I have
no idea why Java would fail to load your JPG file. Other programs
can load it without error...
