JTextArea + KeyListener = hangs the VM!

Question

Ok, I have a weird bug for one of my users.
In the application when the user presses one of the "���" (swedish) characters on the keyboard in the JTextArea it hangs the VM. Makes the whole vm instance locked on the operating system (and the whole application ofc). The program is a java application running through java web start. JRE 1.5.0_09
This has been reported to happen randomly on other computers as well.
If i do not add the key listener to the jtextarea it does not hang! Here is the code for the keylistener I add, which makes the application hang.
this.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter(){
     public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
          switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
               case KeyEvent.VK_ENTER :
                    System.out.println("Enter pressed");
                    break;
});Anyone have any clue what can be causing this?

>I don't think the problem is in that part of the code.......
becoz with your code this program is working properly......
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class forJAeon extends JFrame{
    JTextArea jta;
    forJAeon(){
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        jta=new JTextArea();
        jta.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter(){
             public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
                  switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
                       case KeyEvent.VK_ENTER :
                          System.out.println("Enter pressed");
                        break;
        getContentPane().add(jta);
        setSize(200,200);
    public static void main(String args[]){
        new forJAeon().setVisible(true);
}???????so, the problem might be in some other place is my guess.....!!!
Tried using keybinding and it gives the same bug. Seems like it bugs on other computers as well. Supports my guess.....?!!??!!
