95750 - java crash when libjavaplugin_oji.so cp'd instead of ln'd

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[David Kelly]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080104

I've recently upgraded from jre to jdk. When I did the installation, I  ran 'cp
/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins'. Then everytime I ran a java applet, mozilla would
crash. I have a talkbalk enabled version of mozilla, but whenever it would
crash, mozilla would only crash and not bring up the feedback info like usual
(this in itself could be registered as a bug).

Mozilla crashes only when the .so file is cp'd instead of ln'd into
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins. Not a huge problem or anything, but I thought I
would register it in case anyone else runs into something similar.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.cp /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins
2. open java.sun.com in mozilla
3. crash

I don't think it's relevent to the bug, but just in case, the system is running
redhat linux 7.1 with SGI's XFS patch.

Confirming.
Probably a dupe, though.

Same behavior with 0.9.3 under RH 6.2 linux:
Mozilla crashed with message in console: 
 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2
<
System error?:: No such file or directory

More serious: Try to cp, start browser and then
open console via Tools->Java Console.
Then Current screen will be locked and you need to kill mozilla from other
machine to unlock it.

Reassign to Ed Burns - OJI owner to make decision
