Whenever a site contains java-applets, netscape hangs after some time. The only way to get rid of the netscape window is kill -9 <pid of netscape> I4m using redhat 6.0 and the kde-Desktop 1.1.2 and my connection to the internet is via a 56K modem. Netscape version 4.6 and 4.7 show this behavior. The fontpaths seem o.k. and the 75 dpi fonts are installed too. Do you know, what could be wrong. Under Windows the java works fine. Thanks for any help Juergen
The hang appears to be a CPU loop; "top" shows netscape hogging the CPU when this happens. Running Netscape 4.7 with Redhat 6.1.
I have the same problem using Redhat 6, and when running Netscape through a terminal it comes up with Bus error when accessing a page with Java on it and Netscape just crashes. But when I did a full installation of Linux Redhat 6 the problem was illiminated, is there a way of fixing this problem without installing full installation of Linux Redhat 6? Vipin
Some java applets have been known to cause netscape to hang; no known fix yet; it's been reported to netscape. As for netscape *crashing* when it encounters java, see bug #2711. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5812 ***
