MORE INFORMATION

Notice the CViperThread::Javatize call. In the cause of this condition, the object that is being created is not a Visual J++ object. This code path should only be taken for Visual J++ objects.

This hotfix fixes an error that permits this code path to be taken for non-Visual J++ objects.
