MBean Server Failure

I HATE it when I ask a question that nobody will
touch!  ;)

I learned more about my MBean server failure.  It's
not working on my desktop, so I went to another
machine and installed JDK 1.4.1 and Tomcat 4.1.24 LE
clean.  No MBean server failure, and the admin tool
runs great.

Conclusion: my desktop setup is the problem.

I've been poring through my system parameters.  I
cleaned up my PATH.  I don't have a CLASSPATH set for
the system.  I let every app set that for itself.  So
even if I have servlet.jar in several places, there's
no way Tomcat would find a bad one, because its
CLASSPATH would include those directories.

I'm cleaning out old s'ware that might be doing it.  I
had an old J2EE 1.3 hanging around.  I was hoping that
getting rid of it would solve the dilemma, but no
dice.  

The root cause in the log file is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid
descriptor passed in parameter

Does anyone know how I can find what's being passed
and see what the problem is?  I don't know anything
about JMX or MBeans.  Is there any developer who's
knowledgable enough about MBeans to be able to tell me
what could be causing this?  Thanks - MOD

I agree that the IllegalArgumentException would
suggest that perhaps something has changed with
parameters to a method.  (I thought that, too.)  

But it's exactly the same JMX JAR that's running fine
on two other machines.  What explains that?

The machine that has problems has an older version of JMX installed
somewhere.  That's about all I can make out from the stack traces.
