To reproduce this bug see description of bug #99880
at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

The reason of the bug is the following: apllet calls method
appletContext.showDocument(url, target). And 'target' is the empty string: "".
Then java plugin interprets empty string like "NULL", throws error message
and makes Cleanup. During Cleanup plugin gets reading error and makes exit.
First of all: I think that is not correctly to throw error message
if 'target' either empty or NULL. It is responsibility of the browser
to handle empty or NULL 'target' (not of java plugin). And
java plugin must pass empty or NULL parameter to PluginManager.

Second thought is that Cleanup is implemented with errors because as far as I
understand
it is the responsibility of the java plugin to open and close
pipe connections to browser.
