From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020310
BuildID:    2002041818

Browser core dumps on startup when Java j2re1.4.0 plugin is installed.
This problem does not occur in 0.9.9 using the exact same machine,
java, and install process.

Sun Solaris 2.8, Sun java j2re1.4.0.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ln -s /usr/j2re1.4.0/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so
plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
2.mozilla
3.core dump

Reproducable 100%.  Always works in 0.9.9.

Actual Results:  core dump

I have an example core file, but don't have gdb to easilly get a
backtrace.  I do have Suns debugger, its equivalent bt:

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

SUNs problem, not ours

Comment 2

On what basis to you claim its Sun's problem?
The EXACT same install, java, etc works fine on
Mozilla 0.9.9 and core dumps on RC1.

Do you have any suggestions to fix the problem?

Comment 3

[Brian Foddy]

On further playing around, I downgraded to Java
j2re_1_3_1_03 plugin, and it works.  However I know
this version failed in past combos either Netscape or Mozilla.
And it only claims to have a NS600 directory, where 1.4 has a 610
directory.

Also I tried 0.9.9 against Java j2re_1_3_1_03 (the same version that
now works in RC1) and it doesn't work.  It won't core dump, but pages
don't see the plugin (even tho the plugins pages says they are there).

So what the obvious questions are there must have been 
recent Java compatibility changes between RC1 and 0.9.9.
What is the recommended Java version for Sun Solaris targeted
for version 1.0?

Thanks,
Brian
