Yes; the Indy's tend to do that. (It's partially Netscape's fault, it has
probably crashed and is trying to core dump into AFS at that point.) The
next Athena release should have a patch for the SGIs that will stop them
from panicking like this. And as for Netscape and Netscape Gold bugs, I
suggest selecting [Help | How To Give Feedback] from the Netscape menu;
if they hear from enough users complaining they might actually try to write
software that works.
