JavaFX Ensemble Issue

[Daniel Zwolenski]

I hadn't seen your email before sending mine. Very interesting that it happens on 32bit only. 

I've definitely had this problem on jfx apps other than the ensemble one though so I'd guess more a problem in jfx than ensemble. 

If not a 64bit problem, maybe a problem with the packaging tool at the time it was packaged, eg a dodgy Main.class getting bundled in or something. The app that gave me trouble was built using the jfx packaging tool (which does some wiggy stuff with signing, pre-launchers, etc) and I thought worked on some computers but not others but too long ago to be sure. 

Messy stuff to debug!
