EVALUATION Please report Java info (version, update number). Most probably that one is a duplicate of 6173972 and therefore fixed in 5.0u3, b05. Please note that fix is CONDITIONAL (you may need an environment variable set).

EVALUATION I do not know if the problem is reproducible on Windows based machines. I have noticed this problem on SNV_41 and above on x86 boxes. Just open bugster on a x86 machine with nevada 41 or above and you can see the problem. I can reproduce it on my machine anytime. I know several other machines (not on swan) where this problem has been seen.
