Hi, For quite some time now Netscape 4.5 has been very unstable on my -current system. I've cvsup'ed and made world many times in the hope the problem would go away. Today I decided to ktrace it, and see where it would stop. Of course it now refuses to crash. Even on java stuff that would crash it _every_ time without the ktrace. Now I can start my netscape with "ktrace -f /dev/null netscape", and it'll probably be happy, although this is less than a satisfactory solution. I figure that the fact that it runs fine with the ktrace might mean something significant, although I wouldn't know what. So if anyone has an idea, I'd be delighted to hear about it. The system is a Celeron-366, not overclocked, running -current, XF3.3.3.1 and WindowMaker 0.51.0 and I have plenty of ram (160mb). Netscape is the only application giving me trouble. I've tried the FreeBSD version and the Linux version of Netscape, and they both behave the same. It appears that the Linux version is a bit less stable than the FreeBSD version. Am I the only one with this problem?
