The fix for 6642444 has introduced a race condition causing intermittent failure of the first JavaScript-to-Java call for a particular applet. This is resulting in random JavaScript errors which are extremely difficult to diagnose.

Fixed the race condition.

The failure seems to be provoked most easily with the regression test for 6643379.
