SOS on ClassCastExeption

[:-o]

Thanks,

I think this error is an icon drawing problem but not sure why. Errors report
java/microsoft problem.

I've written a gui which has a JLabel specifying an icon. Sometimes I get this:

java.lang.ClassCastException
at java.awt.image.ColorModel.getAlpha(ColorModel.java:814)
at java.awt.image.ColorModel.getRGB(ColorModel.java:859)

Anyone got any clues? When this happens, my gui is starved or repaints. If I
trap ClassCastException in main
will this stop starvation of my gui (repaints being denied)?
