Try upgrading netscape? Since we don't have the source code to netscape, there's not much we can do about it... Sorry. :-( I figured out, after downloading a half-dozen different copies of netscape, that the libc5 based version works fine. If I use any version compiled against glibc... bus error! Using netscape communicator 4.70 and 4.61 (from Netscape, or from RedHat), I got bus error (randomly) when I close a window. *** Bug 5899 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since I updated to XFree86 3.3.5-1.5 the login dialog in netscape (I tryed 4.61 and 4.7 and both fail) is no longer working: When I want do download a page which is password protected the login dialog appears but when I press Enter after typing in user-name and passord netscape crashes with a bus error. This happens even if I supply the wrong password. I have RH5.2 and kernel 2.0.36 and I have installed all relevant Erratas. I installed netscape 4.7 from SRPM and 4.61 from the binary rpms and both crash in this situation. ------- Additional Comments From 10/28/99 15:16 ------- I can confirm this problem. netscape-navigator-4.7-1 XFree86-3.3.3.1-22 libc-5.3.12-29 Happens with earlier versions of netscape as well. It crashes sometimes, sometimes it does not. But its always while accessing password protected web pages. Really annoying. I got bus errors every time I closed a window using: netscape-common-4.7-0.i386.rpm netscape-communicator-4.7-0.i386.rpm I installed communicator-v47-us.x86-unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz and the errors went away (so far). I haven't tried password-protected pages yet. |
