Sub Tasks

Description
Reliability problems are seen with New Java Plug-in when launching an applet 
twice on the same web page using IE6. 
Occasionally, the first applet of the two fails to load. The '<NOEMBED>' 
section of the OBJECT tag is displayed instead. So, the first applet behaves 
as if no Java Plug-in was installed.
The second applet being concurrently launched usually starts up fine.

The behavior can only be reproduced with Internet Explorer 6.
Internet Explorer 7 is fine in this respect.

Comments
EVALUATION

Added synchronization to avoid race condition in the initial load:
