Netscape starts hanging as soon as I try to load something complicated, e.g. animated gifs, JAVA applet, etc., and I have to kill -9 the process. It seems I can avoid the hang by running "netscape -synchronous" instead of just "netscape". I had learned about the -synchronous flag when I ran into trouble with FreeBSD-netscape / XFree86-4 a while ago: Without the -synchronous flag I would very soon get loads of error popups saying "Xlib: unexpected async reply" or some such. It seems "-synchronous" is becoming a magic spell for netscape. -- Regards, Georg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
