Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 23:26:54 -0600 Organization: Savoir Technologies Lines: 20 Message-ID: <32704F9E.1781@ibm.net> Reply-To: jgenend@ibm.net NNTP-Posting-Host: slip129-37-239-106.co.us.ibm.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (WinNT; I) I am wondering if anyone has seen a similar problem as me on FreeBSD 2.1.5R. I have my X Windows configured nicely and runs most applicatations as expected. The only problem I have is with Netscape 3.0 (BSDI binary). When I run it for a while (actually this will happen at any random time - 2 minutes, 5 minutes - who knows) The system locks solid. I cannot even get a telnet connection. There is no core dump and I have to reboot the system (uggh) with the reset key or repower the system. The big question is ---> Is this a problem with an incompatibility with Netscape BSDI (v2 binary) or possibly I hosed something in setting up X Windows (again keep in mind this does not happen with any other application). If anyone else has seen this, let me know. Thanks! Jeff Genender jgenend@ibm.net
