JDK-6658308 - Regression: unable to launch applets on Windows Vista
Description
A bug in the fix for 6658308 (a misunderstanding of the semantics of one of the STL vector class's methods) is causing continued failures to launch applets on Windows Vista.

(The original fix was tested on a Windows XP machine claiming to be a Windows Vista machine, and for some reason this bug did not cause failures on that machine.)

EVALUATION Fixed a misuse of the STL vector class's insert() method due to a misunderstanding of its semantics. It's unclear at this point why this didn't crash on the machine where this code was originally tested.
