What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The browser crashes and restarts.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X 10.5.8, Java 1.5.0_22, Firefox 3.6. Absolutely no issue on windows.

Please provide any additional information below.
A log of the crash is also reported on
https://www.e-contract.be/eid-applet-beta/results.seam with status "UNFINISHED"

Could it be due to the Java version which is lower than 1.6 ?
I have all latest updates for my mac 10.5.8 (leopard).
However, I could upgrade to MAC Snow leopard, which will upgrade Java to
1.6.0_17.
If this Java version upgrade solves he issue, it means that only latest Mac
OS can run the eid applet. Am I right ?
