24487 - Crash when visiting a page with Java time-warner and java.sun.com

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 18567

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[chriss]

I'm using the 1/19 build: 2000011908

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install conplete version with Java
2) Launch browser and go to a site with Java:
e.g. http://www.timewarner.com or http://java.sun.com

3) browser crashes

This is also a beta 1 stopper

This is a beta stopper, but not PDT+.

Comment 2

[chriss]

adding beta1 to keyword field

Clearing PDT- since this is nominated for beta1 and needs PDT re-review.

In the last week-and-a-half, we've found that the Windows Java Plug-In has
stopped working with Mozilla builds.  It's the usual culprit: Mozilla API's
have changed again, and the Java Plug-In that you have was built against Mozilla
headers that are older than two weeks old.

Ed Burns has been working on identifying the changes in Mozilla that break the
Java Plug-In; looks like the majority of the changes were in the Mozilla plugin 
module.  We will try to persuade the Sun JDK folks to modify JPI to catch
up with Mozilla, but the JDK 1.3 has been in code freeze for a couple of months
now.

I sure hope this is the last time Mozilla API's change, especially since we're
approaching Beta.

I'll mark this bug as M14, and pray that we can get a new JDK build that works,
and distribute at least internally to Netscape.  Meanwhile, we're working with
the JDK group to convince them to release a patch that's JPI-specific; will
advise you as to success or failure of that persuasion.

I'll take ownership of this one.

After making a bunch of changes to the source code and makefiles, rebuilding my 
java plugin and adding the following line to my 

C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS 

file:

204.71.242.76   image.pathfinder.com

The browser doesn't crash, but it doesn't display the applet properly either.

I'm getting our old friend the null pData error:

Please wait for receiving a new drop of the Java Plugin from Sun before filing 
any more OJI bugs.

java.sun.com works, but www.timewarner.com does not.  See
