JDK 1.2alpha2 crashes if awt is used in a separate thread.
When example "Test.java" (see source below) is executed, it
crashes JVM:

> java -version
java version "1.2_EA2"
> java -fullversion
java full version "JDK1.2I"
> javac -d . Test.java
> java Test
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
>

Note that Bug Id 4069234 reports apparently the same problem.
