This works fine for me with the latest OS/2 build and the latest service level
of Java.

Either way, this is a Java problem, not a Mozilla problem and doesn't belong in
Bugzilla.

Make sure you are using the very latest Java service level from Software Choice.

I'm guessing you were running NS 4.61 at the same time.

We found a bug in Java where 4.61 plugin and Moz plugin use the same pipename 
which causes this error.

The workaround is not to use JAva in Mozilla when you have 4.61 up and it is 
using the JVM.

No, 4.6.1 was not running, but on WSEB runs a bunch of Java - Software, that ist
Applet - Enabled, an I suspect a lot of trouble there !

I'm sorry, but this is NOT a Mozilla bug. This is a bug in the Java plugin. I 
have told the Java people about the problem.

This error message is 100% java.

I did further testing!
Two things I found !

Loading a test - page with the open file - option allows to load the Java - Applet
without any Problem.

Loading the Testpage from remote outside my Network, allows to load the page
with no Problem.

Loading the Testpage from a Web - server within my network, shows the Pipe - Error.

For the outside world, ther ist a proxy (Squid).

If you can narrow down between which two nightly builds this started occurring I 
could maybe see if anything got checked in to cause it, but I still have no 
way to reproduce it.

are you saying you only use squid for intranet, not for internet? That doesn't 
make sense.

Comment 8

[Heinz Mueller]

Ooops, there must be a Typo, of course I don't use it in intranet, but for internet.
For Reproduction, I'll send you a applet on your IBM - account, I verfied with.

To be sure, I have Xitami running in two instances here.
TCP/IP is 4.3.a
Java 13 is latest available

I have found the problem.

Use jctrlpnl.cmd To launche the Java Panel.
Change the jit Compiler to off an on again.

This results in these files in the __java directory:
jpicerts
plugin.prp

After removing the files, the problem is gone.
