> Does anyone know what "Bus Error" means from Netscape? It means that the program has a bug in it that caused it to write/read from memory that it invalid. This can happen is you try to read from free'd memory, or write to NULL pointers, etc..... It can also happen if a program assumes a routine uses a particular implementation, and that implementation changes w/out an API change (say a shared library update), the program may be doing something 'illegal' that once worked. In short, it's a netscape bug.... Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
