Customer Problem Description:
-------------------------------
This is against 1.3.1_07 seen with -client, -server and -Xint flags.
The problem occurs when trying to read an exception from a 1.4.1 VM.
1.3.1 does not have access to java.lang.StackTraceElement so
javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler.readValue() is called with clz == null

I believe the value handler is supposed to cope since it can read the FVD
for the class and skip the data. However, instead it blows up. This is on
win32/Win2K.

Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x6d448463
Function name=(N/A)
Library=c:\java\jdk1.3\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll

NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
       just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
       reason and solutions.

When they tried to run with -XX:+ShowMessageBoxOnError,

>1) when it crashes, it pops up a dialog box, saying "An error has just
>occurred,
> do you want to debug the problem?", with a "yes" button and a "no" button.
> Click on the "yes" button.

This gives:

Good bye.
