The FreeBSD version of Netscape Communicator 4.02b7 only runs on
the first invocation (i.e., when it determines it needs to bring up
the license agreement window). Attempting to restart Netscape once
quitting that initial invocation will fail. The process starts
chewing up all of the CPU and not doing anything useful.
Switching to an earlier Linux version, and then back to 4.02b7
will temporarily allow it to run (and again bring up the license
agreement window). I ktraced the process and it appears to be stuck
doing gettimeofday()'s, until I killed it. Any ideas?
