What were you trying to do?
View a realvideo video (from netscape, cnn.com)
What's wrong:
Upon clicking the URL, netscape crashes and burns.
It prints "Bus Error" and gives error code "Exit 138"
What should have happened:
It should have played the video (started realvideo and whatnot)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
In the applications part of netscape, under Realvideo, it claims
to have a plugin (RealVideo Player Plugin)
In a different part, it is set to use "rvplayer %s" for Realaudio files.
Other users have had the problem as well. (also on sun; on a linux box, it
appears to work just fine) Also, the problem seems to be unique to cnn.com
(I can view videos on other websites just fine).
