A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Problem occurs when starting an applet.
Problem can be replicated with SDK applet samples. (see below)



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
When specifying a maximum heap size beyond a certain threshold --value differs with different Windows OS�s and plugin versions-- IE simply crashes. No events in eventlog.

see the following excert from adapted SortingDemo:

<OBJECT codebase="."
classid="CLSID:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=100>
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = SortItem.class />
<PARAM NAME = CODEBASE VALUE = "."/>
alt="Your browser understands the &lt;OBJECT &gt; tag but isn't running the applet, for some reason."Your browser is completely ignoring the &lt;OBJECT &gt; tag!
</OBJECT>


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :

ACTUAL -
Crash IE, no traces

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
None available

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
