**Testing done in Solaris2.7 & winNT with jdkbuild 1.4.0-beta-b49.
The problem is appear in both the platforms.

How to reproduce?
-----------------
1) copy the following files into your machine,
   
   WinExample.jar
   WinExample1.html
   WinExample2.html
   WinExample_jdk11x.serial
   WinExample_jdk12.serial
   
2) Set the path to jdkbuild 1.4.0-beta-b49

3) say in the command prompt, appletviewer WinExample1.html
   ( * Testing serialized applet from JDK1.1.x....
        JVM will launch appletviewer tool with "java.io.StreamCorruptedException".
        The exception will appear in the command prompt)
        
4) kill the appletviewer.

5) say in the command prompt, appletviewer WinExample2.html
   ( * Testing serialized applet from JDK1.2.....
       JVM will launch appletviewer tool with "java.io.StreamCorruptedException".
       The exception will appear in the command prompt)
