JDK-6675834 - (Nightly) : Some of the Liveconnect scenarios are making browser to hang when run with new Plug-in
Description
I ran the following test case as mentioned in the CR for 6675834 and it's causing the browser to crash or hang.  This happens if you do the following:

http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment2/jitu/plug-bug/ojiliveconnect/src/HashTableTest.html

- In IE, run the test case and wait until it's finish. Once it's finish do not close the browser or console.
- Now run the same test case in FF3.  The browser will eventually crash.

If you run FF3 first and then IE afterwards, FF3 may crash and if it doesn't IE will hang. Broswer should not crash or hang. Also, VM crash should not cause the browser to crash. Attached to this CR are the VM core dumps.

You can VNC into the following machine to take a look at this:

EVALUATION The reported issue is not reproducible on apparently any other machine. I verified on my development machine that the test runs successfully. The attached hs_err_pid1720.log is unrelated to the browser's crashing. This is occurring from the attached JVM instance running the applet. The attached hs_err_pid3160.log might indicate a bug in the HotSpot JVM, or might indicate a hardware problem such as faulty RAM, but is not a bug in the Java Plug-In. We do not have the resources at this time to investigate this further. Closing as not reproducible.
