Something odd with JDK 1.6.0

Something odd with JDK 1.6.0_03

Ever since I installed JDK 1.6.9_03 I am having various kinds of
random trouble with Java.

For example Java web start will show the splash screen, then terminate
without a message. I look with the task manager and see one or more
copies of Java.exe or javaw.exe running an services (not as
applications) Sometimes I can kill them. Sometimes I can't.
Rebooting clears the problem.

Sometimes Jet applications just freeze. Again I can clear the problem
by rebooting to get rid of these extra javaw.exe and java.exe running.

Sometimes apps just seem incredibly sluggish, then recover.

Often in IntelliJ Applets run under it just freeze and cannot be
killed. The same Applet runs fine after a reboot.

I was wondering if anyone else was having similar problems or has any
clue to the cause of this odd behaviour.

Yes, I've just discovered that JavaFX apps launch via JWS fine with
1.5.0_13, but not with 1.6.0_03 - this on WinXP SP2 only. 1.6.0_03
works fine on Ubuntu linux Feisty OS version.

I've found very little searching around the java.net forums so far,
but with this clue in hand, I'd give it another try.

I reinstalled Windows Vista and most of this went away. However, I am
having a mysterious problem with Intellij 7.0.1. I (which uses Java).
It thinks it is saving code style configurations, but there are no
files actually saved. This makes it unusable.

Works fine for me, though. (Firefox 2.0.0.8)

Well, I've just confirmed that JavaFX apps launch via JWS fine with
1.5.0_13 AND 1.6.0_02, but reconfirmed that I get

java.lang.SecurityException: Bad main-class name
    at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.doLaunchApp(Unknown Source)
    at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.run(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

with 1.6.0_03 ONLY. WinXP.

Shouldn't have much to do with the browser version - in all cases the
jnlp downloads via the Firefox downloader.

I'm certainly not going to reinstall the OS - especially as Microsoft
frowns upon doing things yourself.

>main-class name

I wonder if 1.6.0.3 is pickier, e.g. main must be void, static ...
