Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    2001101202

Whenever I visit a java enabled site (aka. java.sun.com), Mozilla will hang.
It's been doing this for as long as I can remember (on and off).

Here is the output:

**************** SERVER ERROR **************
gethostbyname() failed, errno = 2

**************** ************ **************
# # An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.#
Program counter=0x48cab523
#
# Problematic Thread: prio=1 tid=0x8053fc8 nid=0xdcc runnable
#

I've tried the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5, but that did nothing. The plugin I'm
using is the xpi plugin download from netscape's site.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the plug-in
2.Enable Java
3.Visit java.sun.com

Actual Results:  Mozilla completely hangs

Expected Results:  Not hang.

I'm using linux kernel 2.4.10, current distro is Mandrake 8.0, and the jre I've
currently got installed (though seperate from Mozilla) is IBM's jdk :

java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cx130-20000815 (JIT enabled: jitc))

Reporter: Can you try downloading an updated copy of the JRE from Sun? Version
1.3.1 has many bug fixes but if that doesnt't work, try the beta 1.4.

You're right. I download the latest version from Sun (1.3.1), and tried it out.
Things are fine.

I guess I made the assumption that the java plugin (jre.xpi) was not tied to the
currently installed jre.
