I ask because the :> 4.75-Linux version that crashes on FreeBSD is out of the same tarball as :> the version running on RedHat 6.2 that hasn't crashed once. : Its definately a Netscape problem. Random crashes have been with : Netscape for so long that if someone fixed it, it wouldn't be Netscape : anymore. Its almost a tradition now. :) One of the bugs I have found was in the java-script variable "screen.colorDepth". I made a test html program and netscape was exiting everytime with signal 10 or 11. After i patched that variable in netscape it was running ok (without the possebillety to youse that variable ofcourse ) But there are more bugs in the java-script option.....
