- Installed JDK1.3 RC1 build P on a computer running Windows 98.
- Launched appletviewer to run Animator demo.
- Animator crashes at startup with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at os_win32.cpp,702. The crash is pretty reproducible. I could not reproduce the problem on Windows NT. The demo hangs when classic VM is used (In a couple cases, I had to reboot the computer).

C:\jdk1.3\demo\applets\Animator>java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-P)

TicTacToe is also crashing. To crash TicTacToe, you must mark an X or O in the window as soon as the main window is drawn. When the program crashes on Windows 98, the operating system becomes deadlocked if you try to kill the process. The only way to recover is to reboot the system.

TicTacToe crashes on Solaris7 too (Kestrel RC1 build P).
