JRex consistently crashes on JDK 1.4.2_12 and 1.5.0_05

JRex does not work with JDK 1.4.2_12, when I use that that JDK to run the 
example class test.JRexExample. It consistently crashes with the following 
error message while it is starting up:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x02d0c031, pid=4944, 
tid=4928
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.4.2_12-b03 mixed mode)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [awt.dll+0x7c031]
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid4944.log
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
#   http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
#

JRex also crashes consistently when I navigate to the site www.bestbuy.com, 
again using the test.JRexExample example class.  It doesn't seem to matter 
what JDK I use for that.
