[Etoys] etoys image freezing?

[Yoshiki Ohshima]

  Hi, John,

  Mark have been reporting that playing sound freezes his image on Mac
OS X.  I think the VM he is using is the one available from
squeakland.org now.  A few Mac users around tried but couldn't
reproduce the problem.  Do you have any idea why that might be?
