I believe it just timed out for your environment.  In fact, there is a 
reverse problem, i.e., some applets do not work locally when they 
want to open local files.  
E.g., /usr/local/openjdk6/demo/applets/MoleculeViewer/ 
and /usr/local/openjdk6/demo/applets/WireFrame/ fail because they 
cannot open files in subdirectory (models).  If anyone can reproduce 
the same problem under Linux environment, please file an upstream PR 
here:

Almost. ;-) There is a big missing piece for applet support in 
OpenJDK, i.e., Web Start.  IcedTea team imported Netx as a 
replacement but it is not quite drop-in replacement, IMHO:
