Steps to reproduce
Compile and run the attached code

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class CT extends Applet
{

    public void init()
    {
       add(new Choice());
    }

    public static void main(String args[])

/* Generic Applet to Application Frame
 * @(#)AppletFrame.java 1.1 14 Dec 1995 14:41:30
 * 1.4 12/02/95 15:28:07
 * @author Kevin A. Smith
 *
 * Directions for use:
 *
 * In order to convert an applet to an application you must provide
 * two things: A main() function in the class body of the applet
 * and an AWT Frame window for the application to exist in. If your
 * applet requires parameters from the HTML Applet tag, you will need
 * to do additional work.
 *
 * Here's a sample main() function that you can add to your applet class:
 *
 * public static void main(String args[])
 * {
 * AppletFrame.startApplet( <ClassName>, "Application Title", args);
 * }
 *
 * The class AppletFrame provides a simple AWT Frame window for running
 * applications.

The description field as copied from bug report 1235627 follows:

Doing a Component.add(Choice c) when "c" has had no items causes
a SIGSEGV. This is isn't a useful thing to do, but dumping core isn't a nice
outcome. Perhaps turning it into a one-choice ("null") button or throwing
an exception would be a better way to handle it.

The following is a simple test case:

import java.awt.*;
/**
 * dumps core with SIGSEGV
 */
public class ChoiceTest extends Frame {
    Choice c1;
    public ChoiceTest() {
super("ChoiceTest");
c1 = new Choice();
add("North", c1);
pack();
show();
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) {
new ChoiceTest();
    }
}

--bruce.walker@east

Original bug report (before customer realized they had done no addItems
in this particular case):

*** This is a severe problem, is there a known workaround? ***

In Espresso, we have a number of dialog boxes where the strings on Choice component must be changed, just like list boxes.

In list boxes, we clear() all strings and then addItem() the new strings.

In Choice menus, there is no clear() method so we create a new Choice component on the fly. Below is a pruned version of our code. If this is not a known problem or is not imminently reproducable, lets us know, we can fabricate a complete example:

    public void addin(Dlg dlg) {
        cmp.show(false); // hack -just undisplay old one
        cmp = new Choice();
        cmp.reshape(xpos+lwid+4,ypos-2,70,25);
        for ( int ix = 0; ix < num_strs; ix++ )
            cmp.addItem(strs[ix]);
// cmp.select(0); // errors, says 0 invalid index!
        dlg.add(cmp);
    }

***************** OUTPUT *************************

Any workaround suggestions:

SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
    si_signo [11]: SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
    si_errno [0]: Error 0
    si_code [1]: SEGV_ACCERR [addr: 0xfffffffc]
