Well maybe my code is at fault.... I installed the Java plugin and ran my applet in Mozilla under Linux, closed the browser window (or go back to the previous page)... and lookit that... the applet crashes and takes the browser with it. Pretty obvious that the applet is getting into destroy() and blowing its brains out.
Not much chance of an IE 6.0 problem there. Further a Java runtime log is dumped in my home directory. This is well beyond me but it definately looks like a problem destroying the canvas or removing the locales. Or maybe the plugin isn't all there yet. Here's the hs_err_pid3335.log file and the destroy() method: public void destroy() { u.getViewer().getView().stopView(); u.getViewer().getView().removeCanvas3D(canvas); u.getViewer().setViewingPlatform(null); u.removeAllLocales(); } An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
