That is right. I found that this issue was fixed in the jre1.6.0_03
( as a side affect, maybe ).

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class MTCPCApplet
extends java.applet.Applet
{
String log = "";
//--------------------------------------------------------------
public String getLog()
{
String tmp = log;
log = "";
return tmp;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
public void log( Object s )
{
log += s.toString();
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
public void init()
{
try
    {
    Socket sock = new Socket( "www.jumperz.net", 1111 );
    log( sock );
    byte[] buffer = new byte[ 11 ];
    sock.getInputStream().read( buffer );
    log( new String( buffer ) );
    sock.close();
    }
catch( Exception e )
    {
    log( e );
    }
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
}

Thank you for your comments.
