The browser just hangs and the tests do not run.

EVALUATION Actually the browser is not hang, the response is just very slow. Sometimes you need to wait 20 seconds. The javascript calls java is pretty slow especially in Unix's out-of-proc model because of the jni calls. For some reason, this is very fast in Solaris, but not Linux. Hopefully this situation will be changed with the fix of RFE 4518207. ###@###.### 2003-01-15 Whenever, I have tried to execute these tests, the browser always hanged, and never got executed even if I waited for a long time after invoking the tests. ###@###.### 2003-01-21 The fix of 4803700 also fixed the hang problem mentioned in this bug. Among the four test cases, public object field test failed on all platform. But that is different issue. ###@###.### 2003-01-21
