Hmm, I tried it on the laptop with the Blackdown 1.3.0 JVM, no joy at
all. The one it was flaky on says it's Classic VM (build
Linux_JDK_1.2.2_FCS, native threads, sunwjit).

The version of Rose I've been developing with doesn't have that option
(if it does, it's well hidden). Perhaps the newr versions do.

There's enough investment in the present translation that I'd look
into an XSLT transformation from the Rose format (XMI?) to mine (which
I ought to document some time RSN).
