Here are some Netscape 2.0b2 bugs that seem directly related to the BSDI
version and/or FreeBSD's BSDI compatibility mode. Is anyone else having
these problems?
1) Whenever I start 2.0b2, I get the message: "Netscape has detected a
/home/jehamby/.netscape/lock file. This may indicate that another user
is running Netscape using your /home/jehamby/.netscape files. You may
continue to use Netscape, but you will be unable to use the disk cache,
global history, or your personal certificates." The odd thing is that
there is NO lock file in my .netscape directory and I even deleted the
entire .netscape directory with no change. Also odd is that I can still
edit my bookmarks and entries are being added to the disk cache even
though the message says that this is impossible. This did not happen in
2.0b1 by the way...
2) When I run Netscape 2.0b2, I am getting messages echoed to console
from syslog:
Nov 6 19:50:56 buk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
Nov 6 19:50:56 buk last message repeated 7 times
Again, this sounds like a FreeBSD->BSDI mapping problem. Does anyone
have an answer for either of these? I also reported the first problem
(as it is more severe, and less likely to be FreeBSD's fault) to Netscape.
