Subject:   Floating point exception in Netscape on FreeBSD 4.3 Release, Xfree86  4.1.0 and Athlon

Aloha!

I've just completed a new install of a system on a system comprising of:

+ Athlon 1200 MHZ on Abit KT7A motherboard.
+ FreeBSD 4.3-Release (straight off the cd). User + compat22 and Linux
6.1 support
+ Remade kernel. Only changes to GENERIC are removal of apm and addition
of Soundblaster support.
+ Xfree86 4.1.0 using the FreeBSD binaries

I've installed Netscape 4.76 Communicator[1]. When I try to run it
though it fails with "floating point exception (core dumped)".

Does anybody have any (more or less) wild ideas why this is happening
and any possible cures for it.[2]. Any hints, help, suggestions would be
highly appreciated.


Thanks!

[1] Yes, I know it's broken. But, the Linux 4.77 version fails in the
address book, which is a requirement from the users. (yes they use
Messenger for mail).

[2] No, switching to another browser and mail program is just about a
non-acceptable solution. These people really like that application. .-)
