Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

Description:
when using firefox to check java installation at java.sun.com and using firefox 
wizard to try and install missing java plugin, the system had a soft lockup. 

Step to reproduce:
1) Stat firefox
2) Visit http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 which will 
check if java is installed correctly
3) Page comes back with install instructions, but firefox requests confirmation 
of installing "missing plugins"

Expected result:
Page to come back and say: Java not installed with instructions how to install.

Actual Results:
Page displaying spinning green circle, spinning green circle never finished and 
believed to have caused soft lockup.  Screen froze, caps lock failed to toggle. 
Machine was responsive to ping. Then it came back alive.

How reproducible is this problem:
I have been unable to reproduce this problem since.
