This indicates a problem with the Sun shared memory transport X extension.

Do you know what else was running on the machine at the time?

Have you successfully run Mozilla at all on this machine since we changed
the default version (to 1.2.1) at the beginning of last week?

If you're still having a problem, can you try running Mozilla directly
from the infoagents locker, i.e. "/mit/infoagents/arch/@sys/bin/mozilla"?
This will verify that the problem is not due to some error in the local
copy (that doesn't seem likely, but I want to eliminate it as a possibility).

Also, can you try starting Mozilla as follows:

      athena% env XSUNTRANSPORT=xxx mozilla

This should start Mozilla without using the shared memory extension.

Bob
