Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi

I have a routine that recursively runs through a database to calculate totals of 'children 'associated with a particular parent. I mention this for the following reason.This program does absolutely nothing with the filesystem of the machine it runs on.

What happens when I execute is that I get the following error:

A windows pops up with the title "java.exe - Bad Image" and the error message seems to be a windows error message and is NOT a java exception. It reads as follows..

"The application or DLL "some path" is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

Now if I delete the file it points to the problem goes away, but my problem is not the fix, it's why is it doing this when my application does not interact with the file system in the least?

Usually the path it points to is the \nativelib directory of my J2ee installation.
