I ran this source code on WinNT, using JDK 1.2beta3.

--[begin source]--

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.swing.*;

public class TestGUI extends JPanel
{
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception
    {
        
        System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
        
        JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
        
        f.addWindowListener( new LameApplicationCloser() );
        f.setSize(300, 300);
        f.show();
        
        MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
        Menu fileMenu = new Menu("File");
        menuBar.add(fileMenu);
        
        System.out.println("Calling Frame.setMenuBar");
        
        f.setMenuBar( menuBar );
        
        System.out.println("exiting main");
    }
}

class LameApplicationCloser extends WindowAdapter
{
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
    {
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

--[end source]--

I got this output:
testDir>java TestGUI
1.2beta3
Calling Frame.setMenuBar

testDir>

The VM paused about 7 seconds after the invocation of
setMenuBar, then crashed with a dialog titled
"theAwtToolkitWindow: java.exe - Application Error",
containing the "stop" icon (red circle -w- white X)
and the text:

  The instruction "0x53614a0f" referenced
  memory at "0x0000000c". The memory could
  not be "read".

  Click on OK to terminate the application
  Click on CANCEL to debug the application

I assume that you can reproduce this easily.
If not, contact me for more details.
