I can't reproduce this bug on jre1.5.0. No exception display.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
I can't find JRE1.5.0 on the SUN page, is that an internal beta version ?
actually solving this for 1.4.x would help a lot more

A Sun internal bug (4942224) has been logged for this issue. The responsible engineer does not feel it is a big issue and may not fix it for JRE 1.5 release.
A broken floppy drive caused by an applet running in the "secure" and sandboxed JRE is not a big issue... :-( What is a big issue for Sun ? Maybe the "responsible Sun engineer" should resolve the bug to WONTFIX status.
I've checked the status of sun internal bug 4942224. it's still opened. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX because we can do nothing for this from the browser side.
