In fact it starts to take up 100% of the CPU. I let it go for a while to make sure its not really going to do something. I kill -9 the process. It doesn't die. ps and top show it still there, still eating 100% of the CPU. I kill -9 the process again. My machine reboots itself after 1-2 seconds of being locked up. My setup is the following: 3.0-971208-SNAP AMD 486DX4-133 32 MB RAM 128 swap file in /usr/swap , vn device Netscape 4 from the ports collection Diamond Stealth video XFree86331 , Fvwm2 S3 accelerated driver in 800x600x16bpp 1 ide controller , 2 ide drives The first time this happened i had netscape with the default cache settings. The second time I had 8MB of memory cache and no disk cache, the third time, 32MB of disk cache and no memory cache. Many times netscape exits just fine. Sometimes it doesn't exit right, but a kill really kills it. I write those off as netscape being wierd. But the three times it rebooted my system can't be netscapes fault , can it? I have no problems with any other program, X11 or otherwise, and the machine is usually under heavy load, lots of swap pressure, etc, so I am stumped as to why Netscape is out to get me. Thats why I send to this list for the first time. I just use the SNAPs and don't keep current with cvsup, so if this is an out of date bug, i apologize. Greg Pierce greg@west.netsol.com
