FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
          java version "1.4.0"
          Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
          Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

          FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
          Windows NT Version 4.0
          4.00.1381
          IE 5.5.50.4807.2300

          A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
          Copying a large blob on text into a JTextArea causes the
          JVM to enter an infinite loop.

          REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

          STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
          1. Compile & run the following code snippet
          2. Copy 70k of text to the system clipboard
          3. Paste the text into the window via Ctrl-V


          EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
          This works fine in 1.3.1, but loops in 1.4.0

          This bug can be reproduced always.

          ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
          import javax.swing.*;

          public class PasteTest
          {
              public static void main(String[] argv)
              {
                  JFrame frame = new JFrame("Paste Test");
                  frame.setContentPane(new JTextArea());
                  frame.setSize(800,600);
                  frame.setVisible(true);
              }
          }
          ---------- END SOURCE ----------

This problem is reproducible without swing usage.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Copy 70k text to the system clipboard
2. compile & run following code

-- PasteTest.java --
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;
import java.io.*;

public class PasteTest
{
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
Transferable transferable = clipboard.getContents(null);
DataFlavor[] flavors = transferable.getTransferDataFlavors();
int i;
for (i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
System.out.println(flavors[i]);
if (flavors[i].getMimeType().startsWith("text/plain")) {
break;
}
}
if (i < flavors.length) { //let's do some text/plain reading
Reader r = null;
try {
r = flavors[i].getReaderForText(transferable);
while(r.read() > 0) {
;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
    }
}
