Inadvertently, through a copy or something, my java plugin became a file
instead of a symlink, which broke it because it didn't know where to find
the rest of the JRE. This is a good reason for the plugin to not work, but
isn't a good reason for the whole browser to crash:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2
<
System error?:: No such file or directory
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file number) on X server :2.0.
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from browser
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy libjavaplugin_oji.so to mozilla/plugins instead of making a symlink
2. Access any page with java content
3.

Actual Results:  

Crash with:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2
<
System error?:: No such file or directory
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file number) on X server :2.0.
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from browser
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable


Expected Results:  

Plugin should fail but browser should keep running
