You haven't had to provide an ISP-grade news or proxy service yet, have you? :-) Ignoring that comment, since I assume you meant "I haven't seen an end-user application in...", it _is_ conceivable that the way Netscape keeps track of its cache _does_ mean an inevitable requirement for enormous amounts of memory. I still don't think we're getting any closer to the question "Why is Netscape unstable on CURRENT when it worked fine for me on STABLE?" The problem seems to be that those who know enough to offer a useful answer don't seem to be seeing the instability reported. So if this thread isn't going to be dropped, the focus should probably be shifted to "What information should we request from people who have this problem?" Ciao, Sheldon.
