One thing I thought I might do is trap the onUnload event and see if turning off the animation during that fixed things. Probably worth a try.

I find that the crashing occurs with jmol irrespective of chime, although that particular page is really reliable in the sense that it crashes essentially every time. (One of my problems is that crashing Netscape forces me to start another email message!)

I believe that the browser support for callbacks is very unstable.

I am sure that there are very few applets that ever make calls into
JavaScript, so the code is rarely tested.

If it is a severe problem for you then I will think about using a separate
Java thread to send the callbacks. That may make it better ... may make it
worse.

Longer term, we need a better callback mechanism.
