This would suggest the class file may be corrupted. I suggest
you next try recompiling the original source file by typing 
the following in the right directory:

javac SiRPAC.java

..and then retry the execution.

Early on some of the class files were corrupted due to cvs which
mangled the files (even though I thought I was using -kb options).
Recompiling appeared to help in that case - I suspect here you
have a similar problem.

Could you specify which release of SiRPAC you're using?
