This is the usual stuff that Netscape has always done, for example: - After starting up Java, seems to get confused, slowed down, and/or fails to execute applets. At least Java is working somewhat... - When it crashes, it's running at 100% CPU and can't be killed except by kill -9. - During some SSL connections (or not?), spontaneously exits for no reason. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
