JDK-7019614 - Sometimes when cloing the browser after applet is dragged out of browser, applet will also be closed
Description
Follow up with CR7019614. A different cause can still cause dragged-out applet to be closed as the transport between client VM and server VM throws out IOException.

This is a regression. IOException is expected when browser is closed. The client VM should not exit unless there is no dragged-out applet hosting in the VM.
Comments
EVALUATION pipe and handleMessage can throw IOException cause the client VM to exit, which should not be the case. For pipe exceptions, it is very likely caused by browser closed, and we lost communication to browser anyway. Thus we should leave with only dragged-out applets running, which will then exit the VM when last instance of dragged-out applet closed through the DragListener interface. For other IOException, it is better leave the loop, and let the caller decide what is appropriate operation.
