Repeated invocation of java on a particular class stalls Windows
This problem has been seen on NT, but most frequently appears in
Win98

Please untar attached runJCE.tar.z file. You must use jdk1.4
since it uses java.security packages. If you want to use jdk1.3
install java.security extensions first.

Run the following simple batch file:

MYLABEL:
java Write3Tests
GOTO MYLABEL:

After 5-10 runs it hangs the terminal.

If you run it as a java process, getExitCode()
always returns the right exit code showing that
the process has exited. But the process never
gets flagged as exited, so WaitForMultipleObjects
would never return on it. It seems that there is
a memory leak, unclosed handles etc. which accumulate
on consequtive runs and hang java at some point.
