'jre1.2.2' is a Sun product (unless someone is packaging Kaffe
funny).  Do you know what version of Kaffe you are using?  'kaffe
-version' will tell you.

This assert is triggered if an exception is thrown when Kaffe's
internal interrupts are blocked.  It is most definetly a problem in
Kaffe and should never be triggered by even the worst Java code.

There was a similar problem fixed in the CVS version of Kaffe about
one month ago.  If you give the CVS version of Kaffe a try, the
problem should go away.  (I'm assuming you're acutally using an older
version...).
