FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java Plug-in 11.65.2.17
Using JRE version 1.8.0_65-b17 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
MS Windows 7 Enterprise SP1: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
The application is accessed using HTTPS in the Internet Explorer (IE11) browser.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Trying to start an applet based application in the browser often fails while the applet jars are being loaded. The failure is that the Java plug-in gets stuck and does not respond any more.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
When using Java 8u25, the problem does not happen. The described problem occurs since Java 8u31.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Start the application using the described bootstrap HTML (see below under Source code for an executable test case)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Application starts when the plug-in completes to load the applet jars.
ACTUAL -
Applet jars not loaded and browser not responsive; browser needs to be killed using Windows Task Manager,.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
IMPORTANT! It can be observed in the thread dump that a thread is waiting to lock <0x00000000ff152d00> (a com.sun.deploy.security.X509Extended7DeployTrustManager) while another thread has locked it!
