Name: gm110360			Date: 03/10/2004


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_03-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]


EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Plugin settings (1.4.1_03)

-Xmx512M works,
-Xmx1024M crashes immediately

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Problem occurs when starting an applet.
Problem can be replicated with SDK applet samples. (see below)



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
When specifying a maximum heap size beyond a certain threshold --value differs with different Windows OS������s and plugin versions-- IE simply crashes. No events in eventlog.

see the following excert from adapted SortingDemo:

<OBJECT codebase="."
classid="CLSID:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=100>
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = SortItem.class />
<PARAM NAME = CODEBASE VALUE = "."/>
alt="Your browser understands the &lt;OBJECT &gt; tag but isn't running the applet, for some reason."Your browser is completely ignoring the &lt;OBJECT &gt; tag!
</OBJECT>


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Normal demonstration
ACTUAL -
Crash IE, no  traces

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
None available

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
See SortingDemo.

EVALUATION The plugin code crashes when it calls JNI_CreateJavaVM to load the VM, re-assigning to native interface team for further evaluation ###@###.### 2004-03-10 Does this reproduce with JDK 1.4.2_x or JDK 1.5.0 beta1 ? If this needs to be addressed in JDK 1.4.1_X release an escalation needs to be filed. Also, can you send me the config of the machine that this crashed on. How much memory/swap space do you have set up? ###@###.### 2004-03-11 This may be the same issue as 4898900. If we can reproduce we can try out a new build once 4898900 is fixed and see if that fixes this problem. ###@###.### 2004-06-03
