Also note that LW 4.9.25 beta ships with the JavaApplicationStub from OS X 10.2 instead of OS X 10.1. If you don't want to manually replace the stub used by LW, you can try downloading LW 4.9.25 (or later).

On my OS X 10.3.9 machine, I was unable to reproduce the bug with the new LW beta. I was able to trigger the bug with older versions of LW.
