Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just curious - has anyone figured out why Netscape 4.01b6 dumps core all the time, with a floating point exception? Here's what I understand: 1) Someone said it wasn't particular to FreeBSD, that 4.01b6 has the same problem on BSDI. 2) There is a kernel change that has been suggested in this forum - does it work; or is it not helpful? 3) I've seen one mention of 4.01b7 - but I can't actually find it at ftp.netscape.com - is this available yet? - Thanks - - Dave Rivers -
