Jeff and I are aware of this, but just so it's in writing somewhere,
the account registration applet doesn't work well under Irix 6.5. On
some machines, if you run it you get in your console:

  14:12 ALERT: Process [java] 135346 generated trap, but has signal 11 held or ignored
  14:12 Jun 28 14:12:00 1A:antharia unix: ALERT: Process [java] 135346 generated trap, but has signal 11 held or ignored
  14:12 	epc 0x6c656374 ra 0x5fedb990 badvaddr 0x6c656000
  14:12 si_addr 0x6c656000, si_code 1, si_errno 0
  14:12 Process has been killed to prevent infinite loop

(and then if you ran it from xlogin, it returns you to xlogin after
having flashed that message too quickly to read)

On other machines, it runs, but it doesn't size things properly, so
text and buttons go off the edges of the window.

Neither problem occurs running it inside a web browser.
