[IDV #AGO-806663]: Selecting File->Save As. on a Mac freezes IDV

> On our OSX Intel and PPC platforms running 10.5 and running McIDAS-V
> version 1.0alpha12 and IDV 2.5, I have discovered a problem that freezes
> up McIDAS-V (with 2.6a3 idv.jar) and IDV (2.5), requiring a "Force Quit"
> to exit McIDAS-V.  I can cause this freeze at any time by simply opening
> the "File->Save As" dialog box.  It is sporadic in the number of times I
> need to open/close the box (once, twice, possibly more), but I can do it
> with every session.
> 
> We implemented the new stack trace feature into McIDAS-V and the stack
> trace after it froze up is listed below.  Do you have any thoughts?
> Have you had any other users report this problem?  I talked briefly with
> Dave Parker about this, and he thought it may be a java issue.

Hi Jessica,
I cannot replicate this not having a Mac but I just made a change to how we 
popup
the file dialog. This will be in tonight's nightly build. Try it out and see if 
it 
fixes the problem.
