JDK 1.4.2 does not call initCause from the constructor. Here's
my test program (it prints nothing):

public class temp extends Throwable {

    public temp(String s, Throwable cause) {
        super(s, cause);
    }

    public Throwable initCause(Throwable cause) {
        System.out.println("initCause(" + cause + ")");
        return super.initCause(cause);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        temp t = new temp("test", new Exception());
    }
}
