OK, I tried again using appletviewer in JDK 1.2, and the applet runs
well, and the animation uses a lot of CPU, but I could stop it with
the "stop" button. HotJava 1.0.1 also runs well. Neither crushes.
We do not constrain resource usage currently. We are thinking about
it. Unsure why NS 4.04 does not run the applet.

Cheers.
