Bug Description

While testing 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1 on Precise amd64 with the IcedTea plugin, I noticed that http://www.java.com/de/download/help/testvm.xml fails to properly reload the java applet after refreshing the page. The applet works fine during the initial page load.

Note that this was discovered in a qa-regression-testing test for lp bug #728798

This works if you manually kill the stale java process that the icedtea plugin leaves running, so it looks more like a plugin issue

The applet restarted perfectly while doing pretesting of beta (15) on natty and oneiric i386. It also restarted on aurora (16) on lucid amd64.

I'm not sure that we can say it is fixed just yet, but maybe we can after some more successful pretesting runs.
