With JDK 1.1.6 (fcs) while running the customer Dana's "Wyzdom" database asset management application with java_g.exe, the assertion failure at awt_MenuItem.cpp, line 395 with the application termination.
The error trace is as below:

I have tried the same application with JDK 1.1.7B. Now, the assertion failure manifests as the non fatal internal error as below, and the application continues running. (Please note that the problem symptom has changed from JDK 1.1.6 (fcs) to JDK 1.1.7B.)

..\..\..\..\src\win32\sun\windows\awt_MenuItem.cpp:381 ::EnableMenuItem(menu->Ge
tHMenu(), menuItem->GetID(), 0x00000000L | (e ? 0x00000000L : 0x00000001L)) != 0

Internal error: 0

We have received the customer's rather large application on CD, we also have installed and reproduced the problem here in the lab in CUP03 (4th floor). Please feel free to call me (x53171) if you need to have either access to the application or would like to take a look at the problem symptoms.

My customer has moved to JDK 1.1.7, and has not mentioned about this issue. There is no more information about it at this point, we can close this issue for now.

I was just running my standalone JAVA GUI application
and it crashed while doing it's menu enable/disable
code. This same code normally works fine. Here's
the output:

Warning: JIT compiler "symcjit" not found. Will use interpreter.
