Hi Frank,

Looking into this, and I see why you are getting this error, even though I
cannot reproduce it on my machine. (For me, the Patch Checker simply fails
to be invoked at all....). Basically, looking at the code, the issue is that
we are using JDialog.EXIT_ON_CLOSE whereas we should be using
JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE. Previously, this was not detected, since in Java
1.5, no fatal exception was thrown, but instead it just failed silently. Now
that we have upgraded to Java 1.6, this previous bug has come to light.

More details on this issue, for those who are interested, can be found here:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6403861

The bottom-line is that this means we simply are not going to be able to
release any patches for either 2.0 or 2.1, since the typical case for our
users will be that they will be using Java 1.6, and the Patch Checker does
not work under Java 1.6, whereas it used to work under Java 1.5.

As such, I have deleted the offending patch (2.1.1). This should prevent the
patch checker from being invoked and hopefully allow you to launch normally.

Please let me know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks!
David Welker
