All Netscape 4.x versions tend to eat more and more memory while active -
the often-used Netscape Navigator or Communicator (the Linux binary on
FreeBSD) at work grew up to 50 or 60 mbytes easily, especially if you
have stepped on some web-page with an expire header that is automatically
reloaded in a time interval (for example, with mrtg router statistics)
can cause it grow and grow until it explodes with a core dump... (I used
the Linux binary because of Linux plug-ins but made similar experiences
with native FreeBSD binaries before.) I recommend closing and opening
again Netscape Nav./Com. depending on your activity at least every two
or three days. Yes, and X servers enlarge themselves significant, too,
but not that much as Netscape does.
Regards,
Martin
