Thank you. Just like  Florian Reisinger I was unaware of this issue with
OSX.

Let me rewrite the 3 answers since I still don't know  Tanstaafl's
operating system.

1. Always use a 32 bit JRE with LO on Windows. It may be your second or
third JRE which is perfectly OK. Nothing wrong with many JREs for
different purposes.
2. Mac users need an outdated Java 6 in addition to their default JRE
until Oracle fixed a bug.
3. Use whatever JRE comes from the distributor of your Linux platform.
