I cleaned out my .netscape directory. Started up netscape (so I have
the defaults.) Then I go to URL:
http://search.mit.edu:8765/query.html?rq=0&col=webmit&col=websrvrs&op0=%2B&fl0=&ty0=p&tx0=python&op1=%2B&fl1=&ty1=w&tx1=&op2=-&fl2=&ty2=w&tx2=&dt=an&inthe=604800&amo=12&ady=31&ayr=1998&bmo=1&bdy=7&byr=1999&nh=500&rf=0&lk=1&qp=&qt=&qs=&qc=webmit+websrvrs&p
It loads to 100%.
Now, I edit preferences. I go to "Advanced" and click on the first
checkbox, which means that I'm no longer getting images when I load in
web pages.
Quit netscape and restart it.
I go to that same URL. After about 10% of the page, the URL hangs.
Actually, netscape can no longer be exited, without use of "kill -9" or
"xkill". ("kill" does not work without the -9 option)
The user that complained about this problem first said that any large
document hung netscape for him. (One example he gave was after
downloading 35K of an ftp directory listing.)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
