FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Mustang b68

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
FireFox-1.5.0.1 / FF-1.0.4

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If an applet is in applet-cache but does not exist anymore on the server, mustang's plugin is able to sucessfully load and start it, however the progressbar breaks out of its bounds.
With jre-1.5.0_u03 this is not the case since the plugin refuses to load the applet at all.

This screenshot shows the problem: http://www.kewlstuff.de/strange_loading.jpg


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.) Start a large applet which does work in the init()-method so you can see the animation-logo longer. now its in java's plugin cache
2.) close the browser
3.) remove the applet-file from server
4.) Start the browser, load the applet again.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
either not beeing able to load the applet (would be better anyway) or to show a correct progress-bar.
ACTUAL -
the progress-bar breaks out of its bounds (see screenshot) and the applet starts up from cache only.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use Tiger
