Is there more to this output?  Does the IDV start up okay otherwise?
Does this pop up in a window, or just in the console?  If the latter,
then there's not much we can do about it.

It looks like an error in Apple's Java, not in the IDV.  If you
can send the full output, I'll see if there is more we can do.
