Description Ben Spink 2008-06-11 17:44:54 PDT 
Safari will freeze up with a beach ball when attempting to load a signed applet.  All versions since Safari 3.0 was released have exhibited this behavior.

The included URL has a signed applet under "Crush Uploader".  Clicking this will make safari freeze about 50% of the time.  Sometimes it will work if Safari was just opened.  If you have been using it for a while, its almost a guaranteed crash.

This bug has affected 10.4.x through 10.5.3.

The freeze happens after the "Do you trust this signed applet..." message appears.  You get a beach ball and can't click yes, no, etc.  Only force quit.

This bug exists in Safari 4 as well.

Yes Safari v3 and v4 crashes. Apple, its your problem, please fix this.

For me this seems to be fixed with Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I can't confirm it with 10.4 update 9 at the moment, maybe someone else can.

I can confirm too that two separate 10.5 machines no longer crash with the final Safari 4 version and these latest Java updates.
