Date: Thu, 08 Aug 1996 17:49:50 -0400 Organization: Bay Networks, Inc. Lines: 30 Message-ID: <320A60FE.794BDF32@baynetworks.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: dino.wellfleet.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) This has been mentioned here before. (As are many of the problems I run into... Sigh;-) You try to reply/mail in netscape and when you hit Send you get a dialog saying ``Netscape is out of Memory''. I'm trying to find some common thread to these problems, and perhaps I have a Clue: I have seen this with Netscape 2.x and 3.x up to the most recent beta, and on FreeBSD 2.1 and 2.1.5 and 2.2. The only common thing I have seen is that I am using the same X server (the Xinside 1.3 server). Now I know it is rather far-fetched to think the server could cause a client like Netscape to think it is out of memory, but... I just ran into another Netscape anomoly, namely that when running Netscape on this server *APPLETS CEASE WORKING*. I determined this by having two systems (FBSD2.1.5) that are virtually clones of each other, (except for the server) and netscape only fails to run applets when using the Xinside server *and* it doesn't matter if the server is local or being used over the network. Sooo... Has anyone else had this problem with this or different hardware? -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 508 436 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com
