This happens in both netscape 4.7.4 and 4.7.2. Installed rather than upgraded to 7.0 beta. Imported an address book previously created on redhat 6.0. Import works fine. However, name recognition doesn't work when an email address is typed in the To: field and, opening up the address book & double clicking kills the app. strace shows: 2928 gettimeofday({966001144, 472011}, NULL) = 0 2928 gettimeofday({966001144, 472115}, NULL) = 0 2928 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 2928 gettimeofday({966001144, 472352}, NULL) = 0 2928 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 2928 gettimeofday({966001144, 472596}, NULL) = 0 2928 ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [64]) = 0 2928 read(8, "\f\3676|`\r\0\2\0\0\10\0D\0*\0\0\0\0\0*\0D\0\230\367\377"..., 64) = 64 2928 write(8, "8\1\4\0P\r\0\2\4\0\0\0\377\377\377\0F\0\5\0N\r\0\2P\r\0"..., 532) = 532 2928 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- 2928 getpid() = 2928 2928 kill(2928, SIGBUS) = 0 2928 --- SIGBUS (Bus error) ---
What does 'grep locale ~/.netscape/*.js' say?
.netscape/liprefs.js:user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.locale", "en_US"); .netscape/preferences.js:user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.locale", "en_US");
Remove those lines; they were added by a previous (4.7, IIRC) buggy netscape. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10433 ***
Copied back *.js files from backup, no more crashes. Cheers, James.
