I'm hoping that someone will be able to offer some advice on this, because it's annoying when a program crashes under Linux even more often than it crashes under Windows.
Anyway, the problem is that Netscape is quite frequently crashing with a "bus error." This usually happens when I close a Netscape window (actually, it happens close to half the time when I close a Netscape window), which is painful because I have to either live with an ever-growing number of pop-up ads or risk a crash. Netscape also crashes when I run very low on virtual memory, with the same error. THE SCENARIO: P2 233, 64MB RAM, 128MB swap Debian potato (though the behavior was the same when I was still using slink) XFree86 3.3.3 using the Mach64 server (latest versions) Netscape 4.6, dynamically-linked (IIRC) motif. Have tried many different window managers, Gnome, and KDE, behavior is the same with all of them. If I start Netscape from an xterm, the error looks something like: <pid> bus error netscape Something of the sort. Any ideas? Are any of the earier versions of Netscape more stable than 4.6? I'm willing to use whatever is stable. I haven't yet tried earlier Netscapes. Thanks for any help.
