java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)

(Resending with subject prefix, sorry)

Hi,

I'm trying to use SISC in a toy applet. After reloading the page
containing the applet in every browser I've tried, I get the following
exception:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)
       at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323)

       at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

In SchemeThread it looks like a thread group is modified
unconditionally, so I don't know why it's not happening the first time
I load the page, too. Is this a bug or can anyone suggest a
workaround?

Thanks,
Virgil
