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 :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
ServicePack 2

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This bug is very closely related to bug #4636311 but is a
more generic way of recreating the problem. Basicaly, I
have found a way to consistantly hang the application just
by opening a modal dialog a specific time. In my test
program that I provided, I am opening a modal dialog from
the windowActivated(...) event of a window listener of a
JFrame. This will effectively open the dialog right after
the frame becomes visible. This will hang the VM every
time. This bug is EXTREMELY detrimental to our
application, as there are several places where we open
dialogs at various times as windows are opened, or as they
are activated to do auto-processing and such. This problem
makes those features completely unusable. I have seen
proposed work-arounds that involve pushing the open to a
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...), but this really isn't a
viable option as it would involve massive restructuring of
evey place this could possibly get hit in order to allow
the setVisible(true) to be pushed into a runnable that can
be invoked later and still maintain the fact that it needs
to be modal. Please give us some resolution to this issue.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Run the sample code.
2.When the frame and the dialog appear, the app. will be
locked.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Both the frame and the dialog should open without issue.

This bug can be reproduced always.
