I am pretty sure no other than intended libraries were being loaded (the only ones on my HD were residing in ~/Library/Java/Extensions/ and CLASSPATH environment variable was not set).

Just don't use an OS dependent environment variable, keep in mind that Java3D might be installed as an extension on Mac, don't install Java3D as an extension and just set the classpath by the "Java" cross-platform way with -cp or -classpath when compiling and running Java3D applications.

The deadlock problem has been recently solved by Harvey but the fix might be still only in a separate JAR.

I fear that Mac users who already have Java3D installed as an extension will have some problems, maybe this old version (1.5) is used instead of Java3D 1.6.0. If that's the case, it will be a real problem for applets and Java Web Start.
