Doesn't crash on 2000022716 Win98, however;

http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~ssa/consult/java.html just loads a black screen and 
says Document Done. The Java applet doesn't appear to be loading properly.

Re-assigning to Ed Burns; possible duplicate of 23672?  (perhaps
[e-mail] or [e-mail] can help verify?)

Tried the same on WinNT V4.0 with SP5 
Used the Mozilla build on 02/25/2000
and latest  java plugin from Stanley Ho (dated 02/25/2000).

The applet does load correctly, abd the page does not crash the browser.

This no longer crashes the browser, but it runs horrendously slow.  I'm not 
sure if the applet is written that way or if it's a JPI problem, but I'm going 
to mark this fixed since it doesn't crash.

Follow these steps to replicate my success.

Here are the steps I took to enable the viewing of applets in mozilla.

STEP 8 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, and UNUSUAL step.

1. Check tinderbox to see that it's green for win32 clobber

2. Checkout SeaMonkey at around 11:30am on 02 March 2000

3. Built Mozilla with MOZ_DEBUG=1

4. Used the WINNT Add/Remove programs feature to remove any JRE and JDK
   instance I had installed on my machine.  Then I rebooted.

5. Used a find command to make sure there were no instances of any of
   the following files on my C: drive:

   jpins32.dll
   npjava*.dll
   jpishare.dll
   jaws.jar

   This step is also intended to catch the case where you have Netscape
   Navigator 4.x with the Java plugin installed, which I don't.  If you
   do, you must make sure that you don't have the plugin installed.

6. Downloaded the JRE Release Candidate (RC) 1 release by visiting:

   http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/j2sdk13/
  
   And choosing the "One large bundle" option under the heading

     Internationalized version of Java 2 Runtime Environment 

7. Ran the installer exe.

8. Unzipped George's zip file on top of the install location, which for
   me was C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3 .

9. Copied C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\bin\npjava*.* to my mozilla
   plugins directory, which is:

   D:\Projects\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin\plugins

10. Ran 

   D:\Projects\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin\mozilla.exe

After doing the profile manager dance, I was able to view applets
without java-related crashes.

No longer crashes.  Verified in build 2000030609.
