FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105
Java HotSpot(TM) Clinet VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.2600

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
System has several drives including a virtual CD drive and large hard disk located at G:

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using the Swing FileChooser and browsing ONLY to G: or G:\ an EXCEPTION_FLT_STACK_CHECK occurs.  Does not occur when accessing any other drive, or directories located on the G drive.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: No

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Since this is only reproducible on ONE of my drives, I don't know if it can be reproduced elsewhere.

Steps:
- On a Windows XP SP 2 machine mount a large drive with many files and directories at G.
- Run the below code, and either select the G Drive from the file chooser's drop-down list, or type "G:" in the path box and press [ENTER], or type "G:\" in the path box and press [ENTER].

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:  Contents of my G drive to display in the JFileChooser dialog.
Actual:  Error written to console; log below generated.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Attached Seperatly

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
