User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

www.time.gov gives the current time in various time zones in the US. 

The first page shows a map of the US with various time zones. Clicking on any of
the time zones is supposed to show a (I think) Java counter with the current time.

However, mozilla crashes when I click on any time zone. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.time.gov
2. Click on any time zone
3. 

Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashes

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not have crashed, but should have gone to a page showing the 
current time.

Sounds like the Java plugin is dying.  Which exact Java plugin are you using?

Comment 3

[Ushnish Basu]

The file I am using is in 

/usr/lib/BlackdownJava2-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so

i.e. Blackdown Java2 v1.4.1 (?)

Try version 1.4.2_01 of Java and see if you get the same error This is the
latest version of Java.

Only from Sun.  1.4.1 is the latest from Blackdown.

Make sure you have the gcc32 version.  Also make sure you have installed the
plugin properly (symlinked, not copied)

Aha! that was my problem. It works fine now, thanks.

I am closing this bug.
