I'm going to Maine for the holiday weekend to visit friends and look at birds. Regular updates will resume on Tuesday.
Apple has posted the second developer preview of Java 1.4.2 Update 1 on the Apple Developer Connection (registration and Mac OS X 10.3 required). No word yet on what's been fixed in this release, though it is known to break IntelliJ IDEA 4.0. (3.0 is apparently unaffected.) Apple hints that IntelliJ may provide a bug fix to anyone who asks.
