Java VM problems on 64 bit machine

[tomdrumheller]

I am currently experiencing problems within the Java Virtual Machine when I attempt to open a pop-up window on a webpage.

I get the following error:


#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:

Any ideas, experiences, or suggestions?

I have a machine with a 64 bit processor (AMD Opteron 1.8 Ghz)

I currently have Fedora core 4 installed.

The web browser I am experiencing problems with is Mozilla 1.7.12, and also with Netscape 7.2. Both browsers are the 32-bit versions.

The java plugin I have installed is the 32 bit 1.5.0_05-b05.

When I have tried different combinations of the java plugin, the browser has not even been starting.

Thanks for any help,
Tom

perhaps something is wrong with the java ap your trying to access, judging from the error

is your browser 32 bit also? that's what I've got...a 32bit browser and 32bit java.

The particular app uses javascript to open a popup, and then I believe an applet is launched in this popup. I have been unable to find a similar app online to test the behavior, and I don't know enough about Java, Javascript, and web programming in general to replicate the behavior.

Also, I'm using 32 bit versions of all the browsers with the 32 bit plugin.

I attempted to use blackdown's 64 bit version with no success.

try opening the applet directly in the java web start app
