This affects Redhat 5.9: When multiple netscape browser windows are open, and the user closes one of them (i.e. with File->Close or by clicking on the window's close button), then netscape crashes and all open windows immediately close. The reported error (at stderr) is "Bus error". This problem also occurs when the user does File->Exit in netscape, regardless of how many or few browser windows are open. The end of an strace when netscape crashes looks like this: gettimeofday({922103651, 642529}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({922103651, 647846}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({922103651, 650471}, NULL) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- getpid() = 20175 kill(20175, SIGBUS) = 0 --- SIGBUS (Bus error) --- +++ killed by SIGBUS +++ This occurs in both the Netscape 4.08 package included with Redhat 5.9, and also Netscape 4.50. Perhaps this is related to bug #1485.
