JAVA Plug-in Version 1.4.1_05 causes SAS to crash when running
ODS GRAPHICS.  This crash occurs when SAS procedures use Java-based
functions.  These procedures include graphics procedures and procedures
that are inside of ODS GRAPHICS when the device type is set to the value
'javaimg'.

The crash occurs using the Java Plug-in Version 1.4.1_05.  To check the
version of your Plug-in:

   1.) Click on the Start button,
   2.) Choose Settings, then click  on Control Panel.
   3.) On the Control Panel Windows, there will be an item labeled
       'Java Plug-in'.  Double click on this item.  A tabbed dialog
       window, named the Plug-in Control Panel, will appear.
   4.) Select the 'About' tab and the window will display the version of
       the JAVA Plug-in installed on the machine.

The crash can be avoided by changing the configuration of the Plug-in.
To do this:

   1.) Display the Plug-in Control Panel as described above.
   2.) Select the 'Basic' tab, then click on the 'Show Console Radio'
       button.
   3.) Click the Apply button to make the change effective.

This selection will cause the Plug-in Console to be displayed whenever
SAS uses a Java-based procedure.  However, the Console window can be
minimized to avoid clutter on the screen without affecting operation of
SAS.

The crash can also be avoided by installing Version 1.4.2 of the
JAVA Plug-in on the machine.
