Regarding stief's post about Apple releasing an updated java that has better compatability.

Two days ago, my software update gave me a new version of java 1.4.1 (an update from the previous 1.4.1 I already had) that the apple description said improved compatability. I have no idea what kind of compatability (1 sentence descriptions have a nice way of doing that), but perhaps that should be checked out to see if it fixes the problem?
