Hi, Todd,
Presumably you're aware that the normal way to debug
Bus Errors is to unlimit coredumps (i.e. "unlimit coredumpsize"),
reproduce the problem, and then examine the coredump with:
"file", to determine what application produced the core dump --
whether it's Netscape or a helper application.
"gdb", "adb", or "dbx" depending on the program that crashed, to
get a stack trace and some indication of where the fault may lie.
Submit the results of the above to the appropriate people, depending
on what software is failing how.
?
Thanks!
