What were you trying to do?
I'm the TA for 10.551 and when I've put together a web page, the pdf documents
cause netscape to crash.  Load the pdf files for 10.551 at 
http://web.mit.edu/10.551/www/handouts.html

What's wrong:
	The version of netscape crashes when the acrobat plug-in loads.  I've
set up netscape with the acroread plug-in on HP-UX and I can load the view 
the files with no problem.  It is a known bug documented by netscape.  

What should have happened:
	The pdf files should load without netscape crashing.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
