WFM with Mozilla 1.7.6 and 1.8b1, maybe Java related?

Talkback does not trigger.  I fired up the console and there were no reports queued.

Any suggestions for how to diagnose this, if it is Java-related?  I'm happy to
do a little investigating.

Even if it is Java-related, Java shouldn't crash the browser, should it?

If it helps, I have successfully loaded this page using Konqueror, on the same
machine.  I couldn't swear to Konqueror using the same Java plugin, though.

if you start Mozilla from the console, are there any messages there when Mozilla
dies?

You could disable Java (Edit>Preferences>Advanced - untick Enable Java) and/or
you could install another Java plugin (1.4/1.5) to see if that helps. 
If that doesn't work you could try to make a simplified testcase, see
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#testcase for instructions.

Yes.  These seem to confirm the java problem:

Finished ReadPrefs OK
Finished ReadPrefs OK
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2

System error?:: No such file or directory
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server :0.0.

The java plugin I'm using is
j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji from Sun.

Even if this doesn't run properly, it shouldn't crash Mozilla, should it?

reporter: sorry, java is a plugin, plugins can do whatever they like including
quiting. if you don't like their behaviors, you can complain to their vendors or
not use them.

Robert: please make sure you have the plugin properly installed (symlinked, not
copied).  See http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java

Thanks.  My mistake.  Discharged the "bug" as 'RESOLVED INVALID.'
