I ran into the following bug while running NCSA Mosaic on a DECstatation
5000/25 on Athena.  I had selected 'Load to Local Disk' and then clicked on
a link, which I actually wanted to go to rather than load locally.  So when
the dialog box came up asking me for a file name, I clicked on 'Cancel'
or 'Abort' (or whatever the lower-right button was labeled), after which
Mosaic crashed on I received the following message on the xterm from which
I had launched Mosaic:

athena% pid 17756 (Mosaic) was killed on an unaligned access, at pc 0x5aad98 

Congratulations, you have found a bug in
NCSA Mosaic 2.6 on DEC Ultrix.

Please submit a bug report via e-mail 
to bug-sipb@mit.edu.  We thank you for your support.

...exiting NCSA Mosaic now.


[1]    Illegal instruction  Mosaic
