ActiveXBridge problem: On a system with IE 4.0 installed, several
iterations of starting and stopping IE 4.0 with
and HTML page that contains a JavaBean ActiveX control will cause a hang in
the JVM because the resources
used in each iteration are not being free'd.


A testcase that demonstrates the problem is to create an HTML page that
contains several instances of the Juggler
ActiveX Bean Control. Load the page into IE 4.0 and make sure the Jugglers
are running. Click the 'x' in the right
upper corner to close down IE 4.0. Repeat this process several times and
eventually IE 4.0 will hang. Looking at
the Task Manager shows the system resources steadily climbing.


Trying this test with a native ActiveX control does not produce the hang and
there is no resource drain shown after
several iterations of the starting and stopping IE 4.0.
