Still locks up in Firefox 1.0.4 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US:
rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511

Notice that this is on Linux not Windows.

KL incorrectly closed this,wfm under windows doesn't mean that you can close
this (reported under Linux)

I mean why don't you try the latest version (build 1.5.0_02-b09)

I'm closing this bug. I found a bug report on Sun regarding this, bug ID
4930673, http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4930673

I did find that just deleting the deployment.properties file by itself did not
correct the problem. I had to delete the entire ~/.java directory.

By the way, this would only effect Unix and Linux platforms according to Sun.
The status of the JRE bug is "In progress, bug" and effects the entire 1.5.0 branch.
