That is weird. The problem with current turned out to be the fact
that uname exhibited the following behavior:
% uname -r
BUILT-19950501
By applying the patch mentioned in a previous message and rebuilding the
kernel, the problem with it locking up went away. I just tried Netscape
again and it still shows the error message. But it is not locking up
anymore. Maybe it has something to do with it being a BSDI binary?
Oh well, as long as it works!
% uname -r
2.0-BUILT-19950501
Netscape seems to like that.
