My system has 96M RAM and 100M swap. I thought to check this when it happened, and there was about 90M swap available. Note that even if there is a problem with netscape, the question remains: What is the difference between FreeBSD 2.2.2 and 2.2.5 that's causing this pathological behavior? I don't have any problems with Netscape 3.01 and FreeBSD 2.2.2, only with 2.2.5. --Alan (normally alanchar@got.net, but I'm replying from work) On Nov 24, 12:29pm, Doug White wrote: > Hm.
