Updating summary from "Applet dosen't load" to "Applet dosen't load if URL
contains a slash".

Confirming on 2001050404.

Hello Udo,

I'm sorry to do this, but I have to mark this Wontfix.  This is the dreaded 
ClassFormatError, information in bug 62025.

I'll have one of my team-members contact the maintainer of the applet in 
question and have them re-compile their applet with a Java2 compatible compiler.

Hi Ed, 

do I understand you right that applets compiled with a Java 2 compiler should 
be immune against slashes inside the query string?
