A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a JPEG file which is opened fine in IE/Opera.

This line crashes JVM:
image = ImageIO.read(file.toURL());


THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
just load the file using ImageIO.read(file.toURL());


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
image = null is expected if JVM can not read file
