Please read the Mozilla 1.4 release notes.  Which exact Mozilla build are you
using (built with what compiler?)?  Which exact Java plugin are you using (built
with what compiler?)?

Mail from Steve:

The build was downloaded from mozilla.org:

mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4-sea.tar.gz
Don't know which compiler.

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.3.1 dowloaded
and installed automatically by the browser from the default Netscape
plugin site:

-------------------------------------------------------

Marking invalid, since that plugin explicitly does not work with that Mozilla
build per the Mozilla 1.4 release notes.
