a dependent window does not close and causes the entire application to
   hang, when the "hide" method is called.

   reproduce the error with the supplied code:

 run the Hugh program, press Help - About.
   when pressing the "OK" button in the dependent window, any further
   action fails.

   the application works correctly with Win95 x86, with jdk 1.0.2.
