java applet : which threads invoke lifecycle hooks?

I've recently had some quite strange race condition in the applet code. Looks like init() and start() methods have been called by different threads in pre-2 java plugin version. What do you think, is this possible?

Java plugin version 2 for all of init/start/stop/destroy hooks shows that those hooks are run off plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable. Code/logs available on request, if needed.

UPD #1: My current version is java 6 update 24, linux. I've seen no problems with my config (all hooks are run from the same thread), but maybe there're some older, 1.5+, versions of Sun's Java Plugins which do this differently (windows, preferrably, but any OS would do).

UPD #2: As for the "pre-2 java plugin version" - see the links. There was a rewrite of Java plugin across Java releases 1.5 and 1.开发者_C百科6.

..What do you think, is this possible?

In some versions of some browsers running some JREs on some OS', anything is possible with applets.
