What were you trying to do?
Read USENET with "Collabra Discussion" on Netscape 4
What's wrong:
When one tries to download the headers for a newsgroup, the program
crashes very often, giving a "Bus Error" message. Netscape 4.0.5 (?) also
tries to download all headers instead of only those of unread messages.
In contrast, Netscape 3.1 just downloads the relevant headers. It's
a LOT faster... but is crashing quite a bit as well.
What should have happened:
A limited # of headers (set to 100) should have loaded, and one
should have been able to read the news.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
None that I can think of...
