Comment 1 Thomas Hartwig 2005-11-10 14:51:42 UTC

It seems to be related to the special kernel I use. I tried the standard one and
it seems to work without freezing. I will talk to the kernel vendor.

Comment 2 Thomas Hartwig 2005-11-11 10:28:56 UTC

The problem seemed to be an inconsitency in the mozilla package for my
installation. I reinstalled mozilla and it works fine until now. The problem
occured even faster with a brand new kernel. Sorry for the noise.
