Does your applet adhere, with absolute strictness, to the rule that you
only access or alter AWT and Swing objects from the event thread?
In my experience, if you violate this rule, in either AWT or Swing, it's
much likelier to cause intermittent flaky behavior on dual processor
machines than single processor. On single processor machines you can
often get away with violating the rule; dual processors are much less
forgiving.
