Works For Me in the latest nightly, other than telling me I don't have java
installed, and works fine in 1.5a. 

Is it possible this is a problem with java? I know I had a problem with a bad
java installation crashing the browser. Try going to another java enabled page
(http://www.randomthoughts.net/games/diib/ is one off the top of my head)

site uses fphover applet, which is known to crash Sun's JRE 1.3.x.
Upgrading to Sun's JRE (or Blackdown) JRE 1.4.2 will fix your issue.
Please reopen if you still crash after upgrading.

Did you follow the JRE installation instructions?

symlink was pointing to the wrong folder.  Changed it to the gcc3.2 folder and
now works fine.
