A bug in the JVM implementation was discovered by Ben Mesander back when
4.01 was the latest Communicator version. The bug subsequently fixed by
Netscape and was not successful in versions from 4.02 up to and
including 4.05. The bug appears to work again in versions 4.06, 4.07,
4.08 and 4.5. Ben's original web site is still operational where the
source and a demonstration may be found:

I reported this to Netscape over a week ago.
