The problem happens in Windows, too. Certain pages (the abcnews.go.com home page is one of them) cause recent versions of Netscape to wrap themselves around a tree. The browser grabs more memory, and more, and more.... Until the entire system is starved for RAM. I'd hoped that 6.0 would fix the problem, but it crashed immediately after install when I tried it -- maybe because I refused to give AOL reams of personal information about myself during the registration process. (Their unmitigated gall is showing in the new browser.) So, I can't tell. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
