It is "normal". Apple pushed an important update in their Java packaging
system. It is why we had to release an unexpected beta-5 for 10.6. 

Anyway, during this update, under Mac OS x 10.5, they broke a feature
Scilab is built on (used also under GNU/Linux and Windows) 
We are in touch with Apple on this subject but we cannot predict when
it is going to be fixed or when we will be able to use a workaround.

We are very sorry for this unexpected issue.
