      OS: Windows 2000
      Product: JRE 1.4.2_03

      Problem:
      Files in PlugIn cache are deleted on machine with a lot available memory and unlimited
      cache size. It seems that the cleaner thread uses 50M for limitation and ignores the actual setting.
      It happens on JRE1.4.2_02 and 1.4.2_03.

      Test case
      The problem occurs as a result of having the Cache Details Window from the Java
      Plug-in Control Panel open for more than a minute. Here are the steps:

      1) Close all instances of the Java Plug-in Control Panel.
      2) Navigate an URL to install 100+ MB of JARs:
      3) Open the Java Plug-in Control Panel.
      4) Select the Cache Tab and click View, leave it open.
      5) After 1 minute the cache will be reduced to less than 50 MB.
