When the printButton is pressed the VM crashes in NT with Service Pack 5.
The printing works fine in winNT with service pack 4, win95 and win98.

When tried to run one of the printing applications:

With hotspot :

We tried using classic VM instead of hotspot...and got the program
terminated there too(Dr.watson application error is thrown).

The priority has been downgraded to P2 yellow as the bug is not reproducible in JavaSoft. It is failing in India with the jdk1.3.0M build in winNT(with both service pack 4 and 5). Investigation is going on.

The actual problem does not lie in the service pack as when tried with service pack 1 , 4 , 5 the VM still crashed as mentioned in the report above in winNT from the M build onwards. The same behaviour is exhibited in jdk1.3.0N build too in India.
Here though I am not able to reproduce the same in winNt but then I get the same crash in win95. See the bug 4281380 fro more details.
The native applications(like printing from wordpad...) is printing fine.

In order to trace the error we tried to use appletviewer_g (in jdk1.3.0-N build) and got the following:

This message was shown both on the command prompt and on a dialog. If we say yes/no to this dialog,
the program throws Dr.watson application error and exits.

 When tried running one small printing application using java_g , we got the same VM crash and the program terminated.

We are getting the same error while running tests with classic VM in debug mode.

  In 'L' build we got this VM crash only once while using common dialog, but later we were not able to reproduce it even after
running the test many times. The printing was fine with all the three dialogs.
