Namely, after trying to open a web page containing a Java applet, my browser starts a java process that takes almost 100% of the CPU (system load, according to gkrellm) and cannot be killed (even by root, although it executes with a non-root UID). Apparently, it is in TASK_RUNNING (according to ps). The problem is 100% reproducible (it is enough to visit http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/index.html to trigger it) and it does not depend on the web browser used. The Java JRE version is: java version "1.4.2_06" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode) (I guess it's 32-bit, but I'm not quite sure) and I've installed it from the SuSE 9.2 RPM. It really is a show stopper to me, so please advise.
