Menu error crashes app: Swing, apple.laf, and useScreenMenuBar

I wrote a while back about the menu crashing an app we are working on. I have since lost the email and cannot find reference via archive searches, but to the best of my I recollection the fix was to have the app display it's menus in the jFrame.

Ideally, for the time being, I would be able to use the System LAF and have the jFrame(s) have their own menus.

Please confirm that the following code should do the trick:
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel (javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeel());
javax.swing.UIManager.put("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "false");

the second line has no effect. If it should do the trick then something is up. Suggestions welcome.

Interestingly the app runs fine as is on my system, but fails on three other systems (new G5 and older G4 hardware) with the same Tiger/Java versions...haven't tracked that one down yet.

FWIW the crash completely disappears on all systems, if I use the Metal PLAF (all the non-Aqua PLAFs actually).

thanks,
-m
