Have you correctly symlinked the plugin ?
Mozilla will crash if you incorrectly copy it to mozilla's plugin folder.

then this belongs to oji.

Reporter, besides making a symbolic link instead of copying the java plugin lib,
you need to link the one under .../plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so, if
mozilla is gcc compiled, not ns610, which is for Forte compiled mozilla.

 OK - it was the sym link through ns610 that was the problem. Thanks you very much for the help!!! dkr

-- Bug reporter was doing symlink to the one under 610. When he did symlink to
the one under 600 it worked fine for him. 
Marking the bug Verified.
