That restriction only exists for image mapped interfaces, where the Java GIF loader is used, and then only if the image loading is not serialized by the page design. Note that only Solaris, Windows, and Linux, all of which assume (incorrectly) that a threaded process that is preempted involuntarily will resume executin in the thread that was runningat preemption time, handle the concurrent image loading correctly, if you move the mouse or otherwise cause input to the browser before the loads are complete. Basically, it's bad threading assumptions, and it's fixed in a more recent version, if you can find one. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
