Forrest, Netscape 4.5 has proven to be just fine here on 3.0 CURRENT pre-ELF, 3.0 ELF, both with 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 XFree86. Might I refer you to the FAQ, section 6.13? Signal 11 failures in programs are more frequently than not a result of a hardware problem. Netscape is a MoFo of a memory pig, and when you're running it, it's likely hitting a bad memory location. Neither the port, XFree86, nor 3.0-CURRENT are suspect here, IMO. Check out the FAQ section on Signal 11 failures is my recommendation :) -skots -- Scott G.
