RMIR/RM 2.05b8 crash on file menu access

Win 10pro64
Java 1.8 64bit & 32 bit
Old DIY JP1.2/3 USB cable with Prolific chip & JP1 adapter

So, I wanted to make some changes to my RS1994 and try out an I442-3, and I loaded release 2.05b8 from sourceforge and fired it up and if I attempt to open a file or save a file or set a directory from the file menu, it just quits with a Java runtime error.

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)

This happens with both 64-bit (jre1.8.0_92) and 32-bit (jre1.8.0_91) Java.

I can read the Iterset device with RMIR, but I cannot read the RM directory without crashing. Running as administrator, or not.

Note: in order to get the Prolific chip to work I had to roll the driver back to 3.3.2.102. But this happens whether or not the USB cable is plugged in.

Installing RM 2.03b14 doesn't help.

Frustrating, especially since I don't see any posts with this kind of problem.

As stated in the linked thread, you need to disable Java direct3d acceleration.

That didn't help.

But updating Java to jre1.8.0_151 fixed it. Corrupted/buggy java?
