Description rcarpen 1999-06-21 15:36:28 EDT 
Netscape crashes after a few minutes for no apparant
reason.  For intel, you can download 4.08, and disable java,
and it all works, but 4.5x and 4.6x simply *do not* work for
any platform as shipped by Redhat.

Are you using the font server? If so, what does your
font path look like?

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 1999-06-21 19:20:59 EDT 
Ack, sorry, meant the font catalogue in /etc/X11/fs/config.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 1999-06-23 18:06:59 EDT 
Are there particular pages where it crashes?

Also, while this will break plugins and other programs
launched from netscape, does running it as:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib \
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2  \
/usr/lib/netscape/netscape-communicator

improve stability at all?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 1999-06-24 12:17:59 EDT 
There should be compatibility libs in
/usr/sparc-glibc20-linux/lib on sparc as well
(you need the compat-libs & compat-glibc packages installed)

Unfortunately, the sparc version of netscape is *much* less
stable than the intel version.
