https://jpseuwt-ap/testcases/131/4407646/helptest/HelpTest.html. On the 'Security Alert' page press 'ok' and 'yes' to proceed
2. On the browser there will be a button 'Help!', click that button
3. Press 'NO' on 'An applet would like to print' question JavaHelp window will appear

EVALUATION The c1 compiler thread invokes a Java call, which is illegal. Problem is 1.3.1 specific, where ciEnv::get_klass_by_name_impl always calls find_constrained_instance_or_array_klass. In 1.4.2 onwards there is logic here based on an extra arguent passed in, to call find_instance_or_array_klass using the current known protection domain, rather than looking it up later using a Java method. This change came into 1.4.2 with CR 4761344 NullPointerException just before data loss

EVALUATION This regression is caused due to fix for 6626217.
