Version 3.0.5 crashes on my Power Mac G5 1.6Ghz running OS X 10.5.8 I can run version 3.0.4 without any issues. Is anyone else having this problem ? I know the binary is still PPC compatible.

Whenever I try to run a main() method, the program (BlueJ) doesn't respond and just freezes. I am realy concerned about this because if I can't get the Mac version of BlueJ working, I need to work on the PC version and that is the last thing I want to do; use a PC. Can somebody please give me any suggestion on this?
