adding 4xp keyword.  I don't get a hang but the plugin does not load and the 
mozilla process does not exit when I close the last browser window.

I see crash on recent build. The problem is that the MediaPlayer calls back 
NPN_GetJavaEnv during initialization process where Mozilla returns null. The 
crash occurs right after that in MediaPlayer code. I don't think we can do 
anything about that.

Future. RealPlayer is a higher priority than WMP for N6 RTM. This bug has been
marked Future because the Netscape engineer it is assigned to is overburdened.
