Pawan, Aaron - by any chance are either of you using JDK 1.1?  If so, the
real error could be masked by an incorrect call to the MessageFormat
routine.

To any and all Sun developers...is it possible that com\sun\xml\util\
MessageCatalog.class could benefit from the patch listed below?

Finally, to any and all jakarta committers, could someone do me the
courtesy and tell me why this and another patch I have submitted over two
weeks ago have not been so much as acknowledged?

I took a look Jitterbug and it looks like it can serve our purposes ok..
I'd get it set up on locus except that I'm so buried over the next
couple of days (weeks). Pier, if you want to converse about this
quickly, let me know.

I'm very sorry that this happens, but as Jon pointed out privately, the lack
of a bug tracking system is IMHO the cause of those things...
Not having a nice "fixme" list, as we do on Java Apache is a major
problem... Any news on this front?
