>Description:
      When using the Linux port of mozilla for use with various plugins, the mozilla java plugin will freeze the browser when trying to execute an applet. This necessitates killing mozilla-bin and java_vm forcibly; otherwise they will consume 100% CPU eternally.

This issue does not occur with Linux_base-6. I am looking into issues specifically related to RedHat 7.x and mozilla, and will submit what I find in a followup to this.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Install emulators/linux_base-7, install www/linux-mozilla, and install the java plugin for Linux through mozilla's autoinstall feature or by some other means (doesn't affect it).

Visit a java applet URL using the mozilla browser.
>Fix:
      Not as yet. I have doubts it is related to the kernel level at all; pretty sure it's a simple library issue.
