This is a showstopper bug.

When JavaTest2.0 (JT) is started, it does not display the toolbar, labels are
missing, mouse events are not detected, refresh does not occur if the window has
been obscured, and resize does not trigger a refresh. Startup is noticeably
slower.

This behaviour has been observed in the following releases of JT:
"ze" (Sep 22), "zd" (Sep 14), and "w" (Aug 22).

At this time, we have been unable to trigger this problem in JDK-1.2fcs-J. The
problem does not appear in JDK1.1.6N or JDK1.1.7M.

In JDK-1.2fcs-K the problem appears consistently on Solaris 2.5.1 (Ultra1,
Ultra1 Creator 3D, Sparc20) and intermittently on Solaris 2.6. In 2.6, a resize
event may trigger the bug.

The use of green vs. native threads does not change the behaviour.

On a Ultra1, Solaris 2.5.1, the problem disappears if the heap size/limit is
increased from -mx10m to -ms64m and -mx64m. Unclear at this time whether this
will work for all Solaris.

This has not yet been tested on Windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Run the following shell-script.

For JDK1.2fcs-J:
$ showbug -12J

For JDK1.2fcs-K:
$ showbug -12K

This bug seems to be more severe with the FCS-L build. On several Solaris systems (2.6, 2.5.1, 2.7beta), and x86 it has ocured every time.
