Problems using xerces.jar under AIX4.3.3

[gi...@ac.com]

In my project I use the XERCES.JAR libraries for parsing an xml string that
the system riceives
from another machine by an http connection.

All works rightly if my application is installed under a machine with
WINDOWS NT 4.0;
but if I try to install the application under a machine with AIX4.3.3, the
xerces1.0.jar doesn't work.
The error is: illegal instruction and the session of my application is
definitively closed.

The point in my java class where error occurs is:

          StringBuffer paramBuffer  = new StringBuffer(xmlString);
          int          paramLen     = xmlString.length();
          char         paramChars[] = new char[paramLen];

          paramBuffer.getChars(0, paramLen, paramChars, 0);

          byte[] contentData = new byte[paramLen];

          for (int i = 0; i < paramLen; i++)
               contentData[i] = (byte)paramChars[i];

               ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(contentData);
               InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(inputStream);
               DOMParser domParser = new DOMParser();
               domParser.parse(inputSource);

where DOMParser is: org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser (of xerces.jar)

In particular xmlString starts with:
     <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
     <!DOCTYPE R_SUBSETB SYSTEM "http://localhost:8840/DTDs/r_subsetb.dtd" >
     ...
The problem occurs if the location of dtd is specified.
If I delete the second line (location of dtd), the parser works.
But I must do the validation of the xml that I received.

Could anyone help me?

(If you mean that your Unix process running the JVM crashed with the 
Unix "illegal instruction error", then that sounds like a bug in your 
JVM (or any JNI client code).
