Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk While working on an applet I came across a way to make netscape crash. If you take the square root of a negative number, I assume it doesn't get handled correctly and crashes. This works under Solaris and Win95. Now, my question is: Is this a problem with Netscape or FreeBSD. I remember the thread that talked about using the GNU math interface to replace the one in FreeBSD. Could someone who has made this change try out my applet. The address is http://www.homewood.net/java To get the proper result type 0 1 2 -7 3 for the coefficients. This crashes on my machine. BTW, I have netscape set to open a local file when I first start it. This was working fine until recently when it started claming that the document was server parsed html???? thanks, jason
