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 ?
