I'm seeing some issues with the current version of jdk14 and would
like some verification to be sure it isn't just my particular setup.  I also
had the same issue with the version of mozilla-gtk2-1.5 from the
5.2-RELEASE install cd.

Trying to run this applet (mindterm) crashes the browser:

Trying to run it directly with appletviewer results in the applet starting
with a message stating that it is trying to initialize the random
generator -- then it starts spooling up the cpu.  The menus at the top
of the mindterm do work, but it never gets any further.  (Yes, I know
the signing on the applet is not too reassuring -- it is just for my use
and I'm not very expert at "signing")

I do not have this issue with 4.9-RELEASE running jdk-1.4.1p4_1
and mozilla-gtk2-1.6.a with the same tests.  I am reasonably 
confident the issue is only with the java port but I am surprised
that the browser quits on me...

Anyone else get this same behavior?
