Netscape: rearranging bookmarks crashes extremely frequently, especially working with separators

1999-06-27 Thread Daniel Barclay

For those of you dealing with Netscape Communicator crashes, have any
of you encountered frequent crashing when you are rearranging bookmarks
(dragging bookmarks around, and editing names), especially right after
creating separators?

(On version 4.08, Netscape installer, with manually-created libgnumalloc 
wrapper; version 4.51, Debian installer; and version 4.61, Netscape installer,
with manual wrapper.)


The high density of such crashes that I've been getting today and recently 
makes me wonder if the Motif library with which Netscape is linked 
is..um...a frustrating piece of crap.  Something certainly is.  Do we know 
if it's Netscape? Motif? (or a motif clone?) X11? something else?


(Also, has the problem been reported back to the source of whichever
software is a fault?  Or has this case not been seen frequently and
not been reported yet?)

 Hi,
 
 I was just wondering if you are using the correct libc library. I am 
 using libc-2.0.7 and Navigator 4.5; the Navigator seems stable. However, 
 about last month, I tried upgrading  my libc to libc-2.1.x and that caused 
 Navigator to crash almost everytime. Then, at that time, I realised that 
 Navigator is not linked to libc-2.1.x yet.


I'm using 2.0:

$ dpkg --list libc6

hi  libc6   2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries
