Absolutely.  J2SE 1.4 java.nio in Sun's JVM was broken even on Solaris
until the 1.4.2 release, causing me quite some grief when I tried to
demo some code on Solaris that had been developed on Linux.  The
Win2k implementation was buggy as well until  1.4.1.  That's part
of why I think java.nio work should start on an experimental branch
(another reason is that it allows experimentation with design changes).
