I thought I would make sure there wasn't anything around from older versions causing problems so I moved my ~/.netscape directory out of the way. It starts up, creates its ~/.netscape directory and works fine. But after exiting the first time, it hangs on the next startup before opening a window and soaks up all free CPU time. A ktrace shows it looping with this: 5938 communicator-4.0^A CALL gettimeofday(0xefbfa3ec,0) 5938 communicator-4.0^A RET gettimeofday 0 5938 communicator-4.0^A CALL sigreturn(0xefbfa4b4) 5938 communicator-4.0^A RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN 5938 communicator-4.0^A PSIG SIGALRM caught handler=0x76cdf8 mask=0x0 code=0x The only way to get rid of it is kill -9. This is on a 2.2.5-RELEASE system. Aside from occasionally hanging up on exit, it workd with my age-old .netscape directory full of cruft from the whole 3.x series and various 3.x betas....go figure. -john
