I was having a similar problem with JFileChooser

My results (see example code below) where as
follows:
NOTES:
  All test were against a CD ROM with a sleep function
  The drive dir on the CD ROM are returned from the
  config.GetDir() call.

  1) when running in non-debug VM no problem.
  2) when running in debug VM crash
     (but not when I "steped" through the code.
  3) Code below tried to fix with a canRead() call...
     this seemed to make no difference - so it could 
     be removed in a test case
  4) the Thread.Sleep() function fixed the problem.
  5) SO... clearly this is a problem with the time it
     takes for messages in this component.
     BORLAND or SWING I don't know (or care really).

<PRE>
--->Start of example code

    JFileChooser chooser = null;

    File testDir = new File(config.GetDir());
    if (testDir.canRead())
      chooser = new JFileChooser(testDir);
    else
      chooser = new JFileChooser();

    chooser.setDialogTitle("Enter the directory to start the search
from");
    Thread.sleep(300);
    chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);

    int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
----> End of example code
</PRE>

QUICK FIX SUGGESTIONS:
  - Add Thread.sleep(300) - or larger time around calls to
JFileChooser();
  - Comment them out till you find the min. needed to make it work.
  - Bitch about lame hacks and get on with your work.
