Just today a colleague told me something similar.  The solution was that 
there needed to be done some additional settings to the sandboxing of 
either Java or Safari to allow the JRE to break out of the sandbox. 
Since I am not a Mac user I don't have more details but maybe that gets 
you started looking in the right places.
