What JDK are you using?  What JDK was used to compile the class files?

There was a change between 1.3 and 1.4 (or was it 1.2 and 1.3?  I
forget) involving initialization of inner classes.  Previously it was
invalid to assign to a field before the object was initialized.  Now
assignment to fields of `this' is ok.  This change was made to support
some obscure cases involving invoking methods from an inner class
constructor.  Anyway, the upshot is that a newer javac will generate
code which an older javac considers unverifiable.

This might be your problem.  Or, you could have found a JVM bug or the
like.  You'd have to look at the <init> code to see whether it is
valid.
