Consider the following applet:

public class Test
   extends java.applet.Applet
   {
   public void init()
      {
      System.out.println("The parameters were " +
                         (getParameter("application") == null ? "not " : "") +
                         "passed.");
      }
   }

When the applet is loaded in IE, using Java Plug-in, it reports
to stdout that the parameter "application" is passed from the
HTML page. If IE's print button is pressed, the applet is
restarted, which, in my case, is undesirable, but even worse,
the applet reports that the new instance has not received the
parameters.

This can be repeated on IE4 SP1, SP2, and IE5.
