java version "1.4.0-beta_refresh"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta_refresh-b69)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta_refresh-b69, mixed mode)

The problem has been traced back to b68. I have been only been able to try it on Solaris sparc & x86. Windows does not seem to be affected.

Here is the stack trace:
