Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just installed Netscape (Communicator 4.04, the dynamically-linked FreeBSD binary version) from the ports tree. Unfortunately, I am having some problems with it. On the whole, it seems to work ok; however, sometimes the program dies (for no apparent reason) with a SIGBUS. Also, it locks up a lot. The lock up is complete (the little "meteor shower" stops showering, and the process can't be killed - I have to use a 'kill -KILL' to get rid of it). These things don't happen regularly -- I can be using Netscape perfectly for hours and hours (my last Netscape process was running for over five days before it went belly-up), and it crashes/hangs through different actions (i.e. there is not one single set of actions that I can isolate that cause it to die). My system is a P133 with 32MB EDO RAM and 3.2GB disk, running 2.2.5-RELEASE (a clean install). Is anyone else having this problem with Netscape? Does the Linux version work better? Any ideas what might be going wrong here? Please cc: the response to me in email if possible. Thanks! - -Donald (who can't wait until netscape releases its source code, so that we can start squashing these nasties and make netscape a better program) - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
