This bug is against Windows 2000 and JDK 1.4 PreBeta version B32.

Any Java application or applet fail with errors when Regional Options is set to any of the Unicode locales -- i.e., Armenian, Georgian, Hindi, Konkani, Marathi, Sanskrit, or Tamil.

This can be reproduced with Sun demos or literally any applet or application. The following error dump is based on the result of running the JDK SwingSet2 demo.

Though I could not find a related bug number for this, the same bug also occurred in early versions of JDK 1.3. It was corrected in JDK 1.3 FCS, but has reappeared again.

Running java -jar SwingSet2.jar on the command line produces the following:
