Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-p8-root-030702-01:

Classic VM (build 1.3.1-p8-root-030702-01:23, green threads, nojit)

(Tried compiling with native threads and got the same results)

>Description:
  Several demo applets included with 1.3.1 make java
 go into an endless loop

  $ cd /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/demo/applets/Dithertest/
  $ appletviewer example1.html

  appletviewer in free(): error: chunk is already free
  SIGABRT   6*   abort (generated by abort(3) routine)
  appletviewer in malloc(): error: recursive call
  SIGABRT   6*   abort (generated by abort(3) routine)
  appletviewer in malloc(): error: recursive call
  SIGABRT   6*   abort (generated by abort(3) routine)
  appletviewer in malloc(): error: recursive call
  SIGABRT   6*   abort (generated by abort(3) routine)

  ...and so on until you put it out of its misery
   with a "kill -9".

>How-To-Repeat:
 


 
                   
>Fix:

  Don't bother trying to run certain graphical applets
 or applications.
