java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)

When executing the method show() of a java.util.Frame or javax.swing.JFrame,
the exception described below is thrown. The test case souce code is in the
attached file.

  From the stack indications and after having a look in the WindowsPreferences
class, I have found that, due to the non-accessibility of the windows registry
in my case, a log would be performed. Unfortunately, the logger is not yet
initialized and have the value null!
