A bug has been identified with Java running on a system with an Intel Pentium 4 processor. Any Java version prior to 1.3 crashes with Dr. Watson errors when the Just In Time (JIT) compiler is used. There have been patches released by Sun Microsystems for Java 1.1 and 1.2 According to information provided by Sun Microsystems, the following Java Development Kit (JDK) versions work with Pentium 4:

JDK 1.1 version 1.1.8_008 or later
JDK 1.2 version 1.2.2_007 or later
JDK 1.3 version 1.3.1_01 or later
