As you say, very interesting. The only other problem I remember was
that my netscape managed to download the distribution in ascii mode.
A bit more testing (using -classic i.e green threads, nojit) has just
caused
looutput: mbuf allocation failure
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
I'll investigate further when I get a chance.
