Stability problems aren't just with the FreeBSD version, 4.5 running
on my Sun (SunOS 4.1.3, i.e. BSD) here at work exhibits all the same
problems as the FreeBSD version, crashes (mainly sig 10), won't save
many preferences (toolbar position, "remember last message" in mail
and news), takes an inordinate amount of time to do searches in HTML
docs, etc. Just doesn't seem to work well in a BSD environment.
