frozen windows

[Godmar Back]

 1.0b3's awt has several bugs, some of which cause it to deadlock
in the way you describe.  One of the bugs has been fixed in the current
CVS version, and Peter has fixes for the (known) others that will be
integrated with the next merge from TVT.

Also, the next version of kaffe won't silently deadlock anymore,
it will complain loudly when that happens.
