[ale] help with java crash

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi James,

I see your point.  However, there is no error that appears on the screen.  The tab holding java.com just locks up, and the whole browser becomes unresponsive to the point of being unusable.  If there's a log file that's relevant, I would need to know where to find it and what to look for.

Sincerely,

Ron

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
