Well I'm running Netscape 4.0b2 on a 2.2-GAMMA machine, even though I tell it to limit its memory cache to 3.5mb .. adrian 503 0.8 9.3 64520 2844 ?? S 4:46PM 25:57.00 /usr/local/bin/netscape It can bring my machine down if I forget to close it for a day or so. Its happened in all bsd versions of netscape I've run, when running LInux netscape under linux I've never had the problem (haven't tried running Linux netscape under Fbsd though). cya.
