The Sybase Licensee reports this :-

Looking through the source code for JDK 1.1.3, I finally
figured out why we were having problems when destroying
some of our forms. In win32\sun\windows\awt_Component.cpp,
there is a sun_awt_windows_WComponentPeer__dispose
function. In that function, there is a call to
PostMessage( ..., WM_AWT_QUEUE_SYNC, ... ),
followed by a call to WaitForSingleObject( ..., INFINITE ). The
problem is that if the PostMessage call fails (because the queue
is full), then the wait never terminates. I had to put in some
remarkably ugly code to work around this particular problem.
