It's a problem with Netscape's binary as this >exact error message is seen on *all* BSD versions. Fixed in -current, and I think I saw it go into 2.1-stable, but I am not sure. The Netscape executable was compiled on BSDI's BSD/386-1.1, which has some.. ahem.. "interesting" non-standard extensions to their kernel that their uname() function uses. None of the other BSD's provided it, including BSD/OS-2.0. BSDI provided a patch for BSD/OS, I did it for FreeBSD based on an email description of their interface. >> btw, has anyone experienced blurred or cut-off text when using >> Netscape? >Nope.
