I've seen this on a machine without a math co-processor (a 486SX) which was using the standard math emulator and the BSDI version of netscape. I would suggest trying the GNU math emulator, which is supposed to be more complete. You need to re-configure your kernel to test this. [Regarding someone else's suggestion about limited memory: the 486SX has 20Mb, so I don't think that is the problem. :-] Giles
