It happens on all windows (win_98, windows_nt, windows_2000) platforms
for all hotspot releases since merlin, jdk1.4.0-beta3-b80 up to
mantis, jdk1.4.2-beta-b02.

Please pay attention that the merlin, jdk1.4.0-beta3-b78 build with -Xrs option
throws "java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError":

% java -Xrs -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

and see the #4489945 bugreport which was fixed and integrated into
the merlin b80 build.
