* Once this problem occurs, it is reproducible repeatedly.
If I delete the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER->SoftWare->JavaSoft, the problem is gone.

* I'm not sure if 4681563 is related to this problem or not, but the bug is a JCK bug for Itauium platforms(committed) and has a new jvm.dll which includes "suggested to fix" of 4681563, so I tried the same test with the new dll.
The result was same and this problem was reproducible.

* If other IM on the IM selection menu is selected in step3, this problem is reproducible.

* This problem is not reproducible on Windows2000 with the 32bit binary.
