Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Start netscape
What's wrong:
Netscape + new release panic my machine. My machine has paniced
once a day while trying to bring up Netscape. This has happened
7/25, 7/28, and 7/29. Agar took the release on 7/22...It's possible
that this timing is only coincidence.
What should have happened:
Netscape should have come up. I should not have needed to reboot
the machine.
Please describe any weird things with your machine:
I'm using the Sun "Interface Converter" frob which lets me use a
PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Also, I'm using bjaspan's "Intermute"
Java applet within Netscape, but the machine panics before even
showing me the initial Netscape window, so it's apparently not
getting as far as starting Java.
