It's a known bug. You basically have to reboot the machine into OS 9(hopefully you can do so) or you will need an OS 9 CD. It's also been an issue in Linux, but it's been mostly fixed as of 2.6.25.x. Not sure it if's a bug in the Wallstreet or just that it's not been documented very well. Of course, Apple has no reason to fix it. I've been working with some of the Linux PPC devs to get it resolved. Seems to be ok now. Unfortunately, even with 512MB RAM, Linux is kinda slow. I've been looking for a G4 upgrade for a while without much luck.
