James,

Java is a safe programming language in that you do not have to mess around with 
pointers
and memory allocation, as opposed to 'C' / 'C++' which is used most often to implement
JVMs.

You get a Segmentation Fault, when a stray pointer tries to access data that is not 
part of
your program data (a bit like that you are not allowed to enter you neighbours house). 
When
a pointer tries to access data in a data segment that is not owned by your program, 
the OS
creates an interupt and in your case the JVM crashes. 

Java does not use pointer as such. Conclusion: there is nothing wrong with Orion. The 
JVM
carries the bug. Your best bet is to upgrade your JVM (the bug could be fixed), or 
switch to
another vendors JVM (if possible on a Mac), otherwise ????


Good Luck,
FE
