From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: Mozilla hangs each time I access a web site with a Java applet. I have to kill -9 mozilla and the java_vm processes to recover. Setup: Linux pico 2.4.20-19.9 #1 Tue Jul 15 17:03:30 EDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux mozilla-1.4-12 java-1.4.2-sun-1.4.2.01-4jpp (Sun SDK repackaged by JPackage group; see www.jpackage.org). libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-sun-1.4.2.01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so The applet will begin to start when the page with the applet is opened. If the java console is open it will begin to display logging info. After a few seconds mozilla and the java console freeze. The CPU pegs at 100%. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.4-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open mozilla. 2. Go to web page with applet. Actual Results: Mozilla freezes. Expected Results: Applet to function normally (e.g. Lotus Notes Web Mail applet). Additional info: please see description.
I'm able to reproduce this as well.
Do you have a stack trace of where it's hanging? Is it in the mozilla code or is it in the JVM plugin? Since I don't have the source to the JVM I can't really provide support for it.
