Maybe there was as a bug in 1.3 that caused it not to detect array index overflows correctly, and it was fixed in 1.4.1? In other words, there may be a bug in your code that didn't surface with 1.3.

Or maybe there's a bug in 1.4.1 which wasn't in 1.3, causing 1.4.1 to incorrectly detecting array index overflows?

If you don't post any code snippet where the error occurs, people will have to guess...

Anyways, JDK 1.4.2 has become available recently, you may want to try that one first.
