That's possible, but unlikely according to my experience. I suspect
that the implementation relies on some undocumented behavior of jre
1.4.2 that changed in 1.5.

Yes! That makes it start up cleanly.

However, none of the first 6 check boxes in the View menu seem to have
any effect. The text is always displayed as continuous paragraphs, no
verse numbers, no Strong's numbers, no notes. Or am I missing
something?

With cutandpaste.xsl, I always have verse numbers and verses in
separate lines, but the menu still has no effect.

If I switch to simple.xsl in the Options dialog, I get a crash similar
to the one I originally reported.
