Hopefully Netscape :-)       

You might want to check memory-usage. The command 

	ps -aux | more

gives you the usage of real memory (under the heading rss) and virtual
storage (vsz) for each process on the system. Further, the command

	pstat -s

tells you about used and available swap space.

The results may confirm a memory leakage, either in userland or in the
kernel vm-system, so please report your findings.

Shalom
Wolfgang (seev)
