java version "1.3.0"
java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-c)
Java HostSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-c, mixed mode)

On Windows 98, if the "javaw" command is used in a DOS batch file instead
of the "java" command then an "Access is Denied" error is displayed in a
command window and the application does not start.

This problem does not occur on WinNT/Win2k and only occurs on Win98.

Any java program maybe used to reproduce this. The problem only occurs when the
CLASSPATH is passed as a command-line parameter (-cp) to javaw. The problem is
solved when we pass the CLASSPATH as an environment variable. The CLASSPATH we
are using has around 700 characters in length and around 30 JAR files.

Since the problem does not occur for "java", we suspect "javaw" does not parse
its commmand-line correctly.

I am actually re-opening a bug with ID "4280073" which was thought to be not
reproducible, but is still here after 2 years.
