I am writing from Oracle, a licensee.
This is regarding the pre-release version,
JDK 1.1.5C.
Between JDK 1.1.5A and 1.1.5C, something has
broken the modal Dialog handling.
Once displayed, modal Dialogs cannot be hidden.
Trying to hide a modal Dialog does
nothing to the Dialog, and it remains visible,
even though its isShowing() method is correctly
returning false.
Soon afterwards, the VM will hang.
I am running JDK 1.1.5C on WinNT 4.0.
Here is the test case:

/*
- Run the test case, which displays a Frame.
- Click on the "Dialog!" button of the displayed Frame.
  A modal Dialog should appear.
- Click on the modal Dialog's "Hide!" button:
  ... if the bug exists, the modal Dialog does not disappear
      as expected, although the VM returns the focus back to
      the original Frame. You may even be able to create
      other modal Dialogs by pressing on the "Dialog!" button.
      Sometimes the modal Dialog does disappear, but the VM hands.
  ... if the bug has been fixed, the modal Dialog is hidden.
