If a user surfs to or enters the URL of a Java .class file Mozilla will crash if
the web server sends "application/x-java-vm" as the MIME type.  (If the MIME
type is "application/octet-stream" the browser will correctly download the
.class file.)

I have set my web server to send the bad MIME type.  Try to open
http://www.snible.org/fphover.class

I'm using RedHat 7.2 with "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.1_02-b02".
wfm: Win98 2002061408 JRE 1.4.0_01
This site uses fphover applet, which is known to crash JRE < 1.4.0.
Marking dupe of bug 57372.

Upgrade to JRE 1.4.0 and reopen bug report if you still experience a crash.

I will try upgrading to JRE 1.4 but this is NOT a duplicate of bug 57372!

*Any* Java class file crashes my Mozilla this way.  I merely discovered the
problem with fphover.  Here are two other applets, an IBM graphics viewer and a
game I wrote myself.  Neither is incompatible with any Java versions.

Furthermore, Mozilla crashes in the same way when the plugin is
/usr/java/j2re1.4.0_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

I think you are seeing the browser version of bug 141826 (see the testcase
there).  Basically, the JRE plugin barfs if it is given something that is
misidentified as a java applet.

I think you are correct and this is a duplicate of 141826.  However, in this
case it's a valid Java applet .class file.  I will join bug 141826 and see if I
can help there.
