I just got FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM and upgraded from 2.2.2. When I run Netscape (3.01), it runs out of memory after a very short amount of surfing, much less than 2.2.2. (It pops a dialog saying it's out of memory. It may mean the X server's out of memory.) It seems especially prone to this if the page loads a lot of images from the disk cache. The Netscape binary is the same after the upgrade, naturally, and as far as I can tell all of the X binaries and libraries are the same (dated in May, at least), so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Has memory management changed subtly, or some configuration default? I actually reverted back to 2.2.2 because of this problem, the first time I've installed an old version of the OS in two years of subscribing to FreeBSD! I would appreciate any any ideas you have on the subject. Thanks. --Alan Char, alanchar@got.net
