Applet stop method execution terminated

[muthu muruges]

Hi,
I am having an applet with threads and socket. in the stop method I am doing some cleanup work. If I did refresh (IE refresh button) when the page getting painted then the applet hung. I put System.out.print messages in the stop method. I found part of the stop method not get executed fully when applet hung occured. The destroy method also not get called at that time.
Is it a Java Bug or a Browser Bug. This problem is still there even with the JRE 1.4.1. Kindly reply ASAP.

Well both are dprecated. set it to null to kill it.
