[Fwd: diablo jvm bug with NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();]

[Nick Johnson]

It works for me.  No exception thrown.

java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_06-b00, mixed mode)

Here's the code I used:

import java.text.*;

public class test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
     System.out.println(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().parse("$1.99").doubleValue());
    } catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
    }
   }
}

Compiled with javac, and on running it prints "1.99" to standard out, just 
as one would expect.

I built Java from ports on Jan 28.  My previous install from Feb 16 last 
year works also.
