EVALUATION
When browser notifies java plugin to stop an applet, plugin is waiting on the browser main thread for Stop Acknowledgment from the applet. During the waiting period, plug-in pumps windows messages that can cause new instances of plugin been instantiated. This recursion in applet stop can cause browser crash.
