I moved my .mozilla file out of the way and had mozilla recreate all of my profile data. Since then, no problems. I haven't isolated what it was in my .mozilla/ dir that did this, but if anyone's curious, let me know and I'll sanitize and send along a copy. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
