Phil,
we just need to have someone with a Mac use their Java Preferences App to
set the preference for applets to Java 1.5 and see if it fixes the problem.
I think it will. If so, then clearly it IS a Java 1.6 issue.
I would do it, but I can't get my Mac to set the preference for 1.6! I'm
(happily) stuck with 1.5 for some odd reason.
