Entire words chopped off labels

(Modeled around Apple problem # 3507928, re-submitted as # 3761717)

Intermittently, entire words get chopped off Labels in Apple Java 1.4.2 Update 1.  Click Safari's Reload button to demonstrate this.  This occurs about half of reloads on a 400 MHz 192 MB RAM G4.

Source code:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class label_word extends Applet {

public void init()
{
    Frame f = new Frame();
    f.add(new Label("This is Label #1. The final word in this label should be \"off\" but sometimes it is left off",Label.CENTER,
             BorderLayout.WEST);
    f.add(new Label("This is Label #2, added to make sure Label #1 doesn't hit the grow box", Label.CENTER), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    f.pack();
    f.show();
}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
    g.drawString("A frame with a label \"This is a label\" should pop up", 10 , 20);
}
} // END OF Class label_word
