Yeah. I've been googling, I saw a few people w/ somewhat similar sounding
issues -- one filed a bug w/ apple, and another w/ oracle, but no luck yet w/ a
workaround.

Kepler's Save dialog makes it to the PtFileChooser.showDialog
_fileDialog.show(); call, and gets no further.

_fileDialog.isDisplayable is false. calling pack() on it in the constructor
makes it displayable, but this doesn't avoid the crash.

As a test I hacked PtGUIUtilities.useFileDialog() to just return false, so that
a JFileChooser is used instead of a FileDialog, and as expected, this works. 

The JFileChooser dialog isn't as useful as the apple L&F, but it's a working
option to fall back on if we can't resolve the jvm crash.
