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.
