Overview:       Client-side:  Applet
                Server_side:  Java Servlets

Applet:  The applet consists of serveral frames.
         (Windows with minimize, maximize, close
         buttons)  The applet also sends GET and POST
         requests to the servlets on the server.

Servlets:  The servlets process the requests and send
           a response.  Sometimes the response is
           from the database other times it's from
           text files, for example.

Given:  In Netscape Navigator it works perfectly.
        Each new frame comes up and always repaints
        perfectly.  And each response from the
        servlets is always correctly verified.

Problem:  In IE4/5, at random times (but always when
          a new frame has to either come up
          or be repainted) it hangs (the entire
          browser chokes).  Sometimes it gets
          two or three frames into the program,
          sometimes 15, sometimes none.  New frames
          are commonly brought when servlet
          connections and responses are made.

Ideas:  I'm think the problem is either the applet
        is not recieving the response from the
        servlets correctly and then hangs or there
        is some kind of trick on the applet side to
        force it to invalidate->validate->repaint.
        I have a hard time believing IE has bugs
        that large.  I guess it could a garbage
        collection problem but if so I have no
        idea how to fix it because I already call
        System.gc() trying to force it's hand if
        you no what I mean.

Any ideas you have would be highly appreciated.
