Good too see that someone else has the same problem.

I am a heavy user of Netscape, not only processing all my 200+ message a day
email but often running many browser windows (10, 15+).

However most of my crashes are due to using email only (as thats what I do
most of my life!!).  This is with 4.05, 4.06 or 4.5pr1.

I'm pretty sure that the frequency of crashes increased at at certain point
in time.

The type of crash has changed as well.

For quite a while Netscape was giving signal 11 crashes (a year ago or so).
But after that something changed and it always crashes with a signal 10 these
days.

I hope others can confirm this.

I'd hate 3.0R to be released with a significant VM bug.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
