[Bug 231111] Re: repaint() in a while ( true ) loop in a java applet freezes whole system

[Lr5]

Here's the source code of the applet that caused it: http://pastebin.ca/1279601
I commented out the workaround I created, see comment on line 340.

That's not the exact code that caused the problem as I continued to work
on it, but it should cause the same problem. I can't test it though, as
I reinstalled Ubuntu when I upgraded to 8.10.

The code that caused the problem in its most basic form would be
while ( true )
{
     repaint();
}

For some reason it managed to crash the whole system (instead of just
the program itself, for example), which is strange as it runs on a java
runtime environment which runs on the operating system, so there might
be a problem in either java, Ubuntu or both.
