In javascript, if a string is less than 4 characters long, garbage characters
will be appended to it when returned to Java.

Please refer to this bug report:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7149780

Since they could not reproduce the bug (they could not even run a configuration
with IcedTea), they have closed the bug report.
That's why I'm posting this report to this bug database too.

The problem can be reproduced using
Chrome 17.0.963.56
or
Firefox 10.0.2
using
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10.2)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)
on
Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:50:54 UTC 2012 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Precompiled java applet and html code is available on this url:

http://gs1.flyordie.com/linux-chrome-test/a.html

Values ["", "1", "12","123", "1234", "12345", null] should appear in the first
column of the table.

Instead of "", "1", "12" and "123" values with garbage characters appended will
be displayed. Hex-dump shows character values fffd 62 53 fffd (or similar).
