Can't run JOGL over webstart

I'm having a really strange situation where one of my JOGL-using programs is unable to run on one of my machines under webstart.  I've been having an ongoing discussion with a tech support at Oracle who thinks the problem is in loading JOGL.

I've written two apps that use JOGL.  The first, Raven Studio, runs fine on my desktop as a standalone jar and runs fine under webstart on my laptop.  However, when I try to run it as a webstart app on my desktop, it hangs during loading.  The second program (with the bunny) - which uses a subset of the jars of the first one - runs fine in all three environments.

Initially neither would work on my desktop due to AVG anti virus causing problems.  I've uninstalled AVG and now the second app is working but the first is not (although it does hang at a different place during loading).

I really don't know what's going on here.  Do you have any idea why that first webstart is hanging during startup on only one of my machines?
