JDK1.2 FCS build "C". When running GUI application, JIT causes access violation.

To reproduce: Windows NT4.0 Japanese (ServicePack 3)

case 1:
on {JDK}/demo/applets/Animator
C:\> appletviewer example1.html

case 2:
on {JDK}/demo/jfc/Notepad
C:\> java Notepad

set JAVA_COMPILER=NONE prevents access violation. Thus, can be symcjit problem.

I've also confirmed console type of application, 'HelloWorld', worked fine.

In win95 (Chinese Version), jdk1.2fcs-C also has jit problem, it cause any
GUI aoolication to crash.

I have tested in my machine about jdk1.2fcs-C again this morning, following
is my report about this problem:

JDK Version: 1.2fcs-C OS: NT 4.0 (Chinese Version) Locale: zh
Symantec Java: JustInTime Compiler Version 3.00.0.57(x) for JDK 1.2

    Any application with GUI can run up without problem.
    Applet can also run up without problem.


JDK Version: 1.2fcs-C OS: Win95 (Chinese Version) Locale: zh
Symantec Java: JustInTime Compiler Version 3.00.0.57(x) for JDK 1.2

   Any application with GUI crash
   Any applet crash
   
   Following is the information that win95 tell me:
   The program has performed an illegal operation. The error lies in
   module SYMCJIT.DLL 0137:0550ccf1.
   
I have confirmed the above environment several times, and I think it is
the problem of JIT.

Extending test case. Looks like this depends on windows version. Here is what we've seen in Japanese environement. Apps are demo in JDK.

WinNT4.0 Ja SP3+IE4.1 N/G (Testing 2 machine from different vender)
Win95 Ja OSR2.1 OK
Win95 Ja SP1 N/G

For all N/G case, set JAVA_COMPILER=NONE workaround the problem. Error dialog said Access violation in symcjit.dll. Also, covered "B" on all config with adding jre\bin to path, GUI apps works fine.
