2 May 2000, eval1127@eng -- reproducible with 1.3.0-C on NT 4.0 SP 6a.  Task Manager must be used to kill the process. 
(Works fine with double-buffering turned off.) 

java version "1.3.0rc3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0rc3-Z)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0rc3-Z, mixed mode)

If we set a large x or y value for a point's coordinate, Graphics.drawLine()
freezes in the paint() method for Swing components in
DoubleBuffer mode (under Windows NT).

Try the following program :

If you run this DrawLineFreeze class, NT freezes after the JFrame becomes visible.
This happens when JPanel's paint() is invoked with DoubleBuffer mode
