Branch too large, Internal restriction. (?!)

[sb...@maerskdata.dk]

Having *a lot* of input fields (50+ hidden and non-) on my JSP appearently
results in the exception below. Has anyone seen this one before? Is this
due to WebSphere's outdated version of Jasper? At first I thought it was a
limitation in the WTE only but WAS 3.5.3 throws the same exception.

regards,
S. Bro
