If you have this in a website: 
 
<embed 
  id="soundappletElement" 
  name="soundapplet" 
  type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1" 
  java_CODE="de.sitewaerts.scola.sound.applet.SoundPlayerApplet" 
  java_CODEBASE="../applets"

Mozilla crashes with this, if you set 1.3.1_01 or something else like this in 
the version mozilla runs fine. 
 
Installed is the gcc3 plugin of 1.4.2_03. 
 
On console I get this: 
mozilla --g-fatal-warnings /var/www/test.html 
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2 
< 
System error?:: No such file or directory 
 
** WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 18 
aborting... 
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from child process 
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy the plugin file from jdk 1.4.2_03 to mozilla/plugins 
2. copy the embed example into a html file 
3. view the file with mozilla 
 
Actual Results:  
 

Expected Results:  
Not sure if it should execute the java app with 1.4 because there is no 1.3, 
but at least it shouldn't crash 

I was not able to reproduce this on Windows.

> 1. copy the plugin file from jdk 1.4.2_03 to mozilla/plugins 

don't do that, symlink the plugin isntead.
