Well, I'm not sure. Section 4.9.5 of the Java Virtual Machine Specification does include the following text: "Java virtual machine code produced by Sun's compiler for the Java programming language always generates exception handlers such that ... The handler for an exception will never be inside the code that is being protected ... These restrictions are not enforced by the class file verifier since they do not pose a threat to the integrity of the Java virtual machine."

I do seem to get this kind of unusual exception table entry almost any time I compile a try...finally block with JDK 1.4. -adam --Boundary_(ID_qN3wNA75EjmM1jjnp01ldQ) Content-type: application/java; name=Foo.class Content-transfer-encoding: base64 Content-disposition: attachment; filename=Foo.class yv66vgAAAC4ADwoAAwAMBwANBwAOAQAGPGluaXQ+AQADKClWAQAEQ29kZQEAD0xpbmVOdW1iZXJU YWJsZQEABmludm9rZQEAAygpSQEAClNvdXJjZUZpbGUBAAhGb28uamF2YQwABAAFAQADRm9vAQAQ amF2YS9sYW5nL09iamVjdAAhAAIAAwAAAAAAAgABAAQABQABAAYAAAAdAAEAAQAAAAUqtwABsQAA AAEABwAAAAYAAQAAAAEAAQAIAAkAAQAGAAAAPAABAAQAAAAQBDyoAAsbrE2oAAUsv04FrAACAAAA BQAHAAAABwALAAcAAAABAAcAAAAKAAIAAAAGAAcACAABAAoAAAACAAs= --Boundary_(ID_qN3wNA75EjmM1jjnp01ldQ)--
