Cool!  BTW, the best place to ask JPython questions is
jpython-interest at python.org.

I've had several reports of problems with JDK1.1.8 on Windows.  I just
sucked down 1.1.8 on Sparc/Solaris to see if it fixed a problem with
BigInteger.modPow() -- it doesn't -- but 1.1.8 seems pass all the
other JPython test cases.  On Windows, so far I've only tested Suns
1.2.x and MS's 1.1.4 JVMs and both seem to work fine.

See <http://www.jpython.org/platform.html> for my latest information
about compatibility.  My next step is to check out IBM's 1.1 JVM for
Linux.
