Signed applets crash Safari browser beta

(Apple Problem ID# :3150843)

    The Java applet below is a simple "Hello" applet, signed using a self-signed Sun certificate to demonstrate that the beta version of the Safari browser for OS X crashes with signed applets. 

    The same problem occurs using a real Netscape certificate.  All is well on other browsers for OS X and OS 9.  If the certificate is accepted in another browser before using Safari there is no problem.

    Source code is available as a file at this link and is shown below.  If you have any insights, workarounds or comments about this test page please contact Mickey Segal.  A listing of  many Java resources is at this link.

public class hellotrust extends Applet {

public void init() 
{
    setBackground(new Color(225,225, 255));
}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
    g.drawString("Hello world with trust", 25 , 25);
}
} // END OF Class hellotrust
