When running Java Plug-in for Merlin, visit demo page http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/demos/applets.html. Applet will be loaded fine and ran. However, when clicking on any area in the applet (pure AWT or Swing), the JRE will crash and cause the browser window to go away. This happens on Win32/Solaris/Linux.

However, switching the same plug-in with older version of J2SE (e.g. 1.3), the applets ran fine. Thus, apparently this is possibly problem in AWT in Merlin.

> Could you send us a stack trace or core file, or anything
> that would indicate the problem is in the AWT?

        The following trace are obtained by attaching Internet Explorer with
Visual Studio when plugin is running. Click on the applet will cause the
browser process to crash because AWT.dll has generated access violation
exception.
