I was using a copy of netscape for Solaris x86 a few years ago and it bus errored every time the the string microsoft.com appeared in a URL. It wasn't the site, you could type in any of the IP addresses and it would work fine until you hit a page with an absolute refrence instead of a relative refrence (causing you to stop using the IP address in favor of the domain name) at which point it would bus error again. -- Brooks -- "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one" --Thomas Jefferson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
