Can't even file a bug report for: InvocationTargetException when running applet locally

[Mickey Segal]

It is even worse than I thought.  There is a 4th level of error.  The email address given for reporting the bug reporting system not working bounces as “User unknown”.

I just tried twice to submit the bug documented at http://www.segal.org/java/SignedAppletTest/.  I got a Submission Error page. I was told:

We recommend opening  a new report in a new window, and copying the contents of the original report to the new report. (Use the browser "Back" button to see the contents of the original report.)

However, the second submission failed too and clicking the back button gives a “Page expired” message, and trying to save the page in the browser fails, and it is annoying because I need to collect information from two different computers to document the previous working version.

 

I’m trying to be as constructive as possible here, but there are 3 levels of error here:

1.  The original bug

2.  The failure of the bug report system.

3.  The directions on the Submission Error page are incorrect.

 

Is there some workaround to getting the Java bug report system to work?
