Description
Siebel client uses Sun jre to display its applets. It requires a minimum version of JRE(1.4.2+). The Siebel client performs a browser version check to verify if it satisfies the version requirement. This information is gathered by comparing the plugin version from Regedit - 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93

In JRE 1.5.0_06 this functionality seems to be broken. i.e the Dynamic Classid does not display a version number, but only as Java_Plugin.
Also noticed that the ImprocServer32 link under this classid is pointing to another file from 1.5.0_04. 

Screenshots of the same are enclosed with the bug for to demonstrating the issue.

Comments
EVALUATION Fix will be integrated into Mustang b74 and it'll be backported to 5.0u8.
