83826 - Browser crashes upon loading java videochat applet

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P2)

Description

[Matt Foster]

Steps to crash: From URL given, select "Family and Friends" from drop-down list.
Browser crashes (with mozilla-bin core dump) due to error apparently generated
from the JVM (Blackdown 1.3.0 in this case).  JVM reports, "INTERNAL ERROR on
browser end: Pipe closed during read? State may be corrupt system error?"  Could
be a JVM problem, but it seems to be pointing to a problem on the browser side.
 This is cvs build from 6/2/01 2010 PDT.  Build options: --disable-tests
--enable-optimize=-O2 --disable-logging --disable-debug.  System is RH 7.1.  Can
only reproduce at this one site, so far.

This was the java plugin crashing, taking Moz with it.
After the Java crash log, i saw the same output as reporter:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Pipe closed during read? State may be corrupt
System error?:: Success

After modifying my /etc/hosts file to find all the v*.webcamnow.com hostnames, 
The applet runs, but I get a NullPointerException:


java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:555)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:293)
	at sun.plugin.navig.motif.MotifAppletViewer.maf_run

	at sun.plugin.navig.motif.MotifAppletViewer.run
(MotifAppletViewer.java:123)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)
Finding information...
However it doesn't crash.
