When debugging an applet with Internet Explorer, the applet hangs.

When debugging an applet with WJView, the applet fails with a java.lang.NullPointerException message in the status bar.

When debugging a Windows Foundation Classes (WFC) application, the debugger fails to launch the debugee.

The applet or application runs as expected when launched outside of the Visual J++ debugger.

This fix is also available from the Microsoft Windows Update page.
