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. Linux nautilus 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 #1 Thu Oct 20 01:30:08 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
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. $: rpm -V mozilla ..5..U.T /usr/bin/mozilla missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/chrome/overlayinfo/browser missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/skin missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/chrome/overlayinfo/global missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/chrome/overlayinfo/global/skin prelink: /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/xpicleanup: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinkin g S.?..... /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/xpicleanup .....UG. /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
