MSIE crash (of sorts) in applet page

Hi all

We're having the following problem: when using MSIE (6.0, the build that ships with winxp sp2) to run a java applet (the applet is a hypergraph applet, see http://hypergraph.sourceforge.net/), after a variable amount of time (from 10 minutes to 10 hours), the browser stops responding, while the applet frame "blinks" as if it is constantly reloaded. it never recovers, and killing the iexplore process is the only remedy.

Does this sound like a known bug? I've found some things on this and other forums related to Microsoft's JVM, but in this case we're using JRE from Sun 1.5.06.

Any ideas or leads?

regards

T
