This bug was filed by the security PIT group, so I am reassigning to the AWT person who recently added the sun.awt.nativedebug code.

Similar error condition for DFLoadTest.

Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission sun.awt.nativedebug read)

There was a recent putback that is probably causing this error:

4638447: AWT Debugging Support Enhancements (Java level)

No codereviewer was listed in the SCCS comments, so I can't cc them.
Additional Info.:
These two tests originally failed on Windows 2003 machine (DNM-DTF-027).
But they PASSed in the rerun on Windows XP machine (jsn-gtwy-3).
Here is the rerun result directory.:

This Windows XP machine has the following Service Pack info.
Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519: Service Pack 2)

Comments
EVALUATION

I can easily reproduce the reported problem on my WinXP desktop, so it is not Vista specific. I have also verified the proposed fix really eliminates the exception.

EVALUATION

It's a bit strange that SecurityException is thrown only on Vista. In any case, we must perform reading of sun.awt.nativedebug property in doPrivileged() block.
