What were you trying to do?
i sent you a message earlier today about a bug (email subject was the same),
namely that my netscape crashed on linux despite it worked short before.
What's wrong:
any linux machine i tried to run netscape on made it exit with status 135.
What should have happened:
WHAT HAPPENED: I previously installed realaudio in one of my directories, but
once i figured out i didn't need it, i just deleted it. netscape looked for
it, couldn't find an installed package, and crashed.
why it is certainly the reason is that when i tried running netscape on a sun,
i got a warning saying the plugin files were missing -- netscape started though.
after removing all traces of the realaudio package from netscape, it runs
smooth on linux, too.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
