>Description:
After installing the fresh linux_base-5.2, using the
linux-communicator-4.61 gives me trouble:

Everthing is smooth, but sending email eats memory at a speed of 3-4
megs/second, until everything is gone (in my case, 256 real + 314 swap!).

It happens when hitting the send button. removing linux_base-5.2 and
reinstalling linux_lib-2.6.1 makes eveything fine again.

When killing netscape, this appears in the /var/log/maillog:
Jul 22 00:55:41 elbas sendmail[18063]: AAA18063: collect: premature EOM: Undefined error: 0
Jul 22 00:55:41 elbas sendmail[18063]: AAA18063: collect: unexpected close on connection from localhost, sender=<girgen@partitur.se>: Undefined error: 0
Jul 22 00:55:41 elbas sendmail[18063]: AAA18063: from=<girgen@partitur.se>, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=1, proto=ESMTP, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1]

nothing ever appears in the spool/mqueue

I had to use NEEDLOADLINK= true when installing. Kernel & userland
sources are from July 7:th. Are they too old?

sysctl -n kern.osreldate
320001

>How-To-Repeat:
- install emulators/linux_base-5.2 and www/linux-netscape46-communicator
- try to send an email

>Fix:
- Using the old linux_lib-2.6 fixes it.  

- Adding a LD_LIBRARY_PATH to something?

- Maybe altering the netscape port to use glibc? (don't have time for
  it right now, but this might be an option; not the best solution,
  though, IMHO).

- Apart from that, no idea :(
