Hi,

I use jdk1.1.8 as well on FreeBSD 3.4.  I also have a java applet. I have
never experienced your problems but in my Java code (which I inherited
from a previous developer) there are references to a "java bug" to do with
pack();

The code I have calls pack in a loop and packs until the bounds stop
changing. I have no idea if this is related to your problem, but I just
thought I suggest it.  I have included a few lines of my code for
reference.

                setResizable(true);
                Rectangle r;
                do {
                        r=getBounds();
                        pack();
                }
                while(!(r.equals(getBounds())));
                setResizable(false);

                show();
