FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Only occurs under Webstart, not under command line

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using the MySQL JDBC link under Webstart on 1.5 beta 2 I get the following Stack trace on console. I can't explain it, but the fact it only occurs under WebStart (not command line) and not for versions of Java before 1.5 suggest it is a webstart problem.

Someone else is clearly also getting this problem under webstart from this google search:

http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2004-April/019713.html

I wondered if it was related to bug 5052573, but have no evidence for this.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
OK, managed to find a very short reproducible test case. Compile, jar, and
sign the following code to launch under webstart with build-57. Edit the
JNLP as appropriate for you, it is about as simple as it gets.

Code:

public class Main {
  public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
    new Socket("modus_x2", 3306);
  }
}

Connect to any database using MySQL JDBC link under Java webstart 1.5.0 beta2. Probably a simpler way, but I don't know it.

ACTUAL -
Everything worked, but got the stack trace on console

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
