I am using Sun's JRE 1.6.0_02 on Windows XP

Actually...are you sure it would work?  java.util.Vector has the following
clone() method:

public Object <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html>
*clone*()
{
}

I didn't think you can cast a base class (Vector) to its derived class
(SegmentInfos) in Java?
