I don't think it's an XFree86 issue -- same things occur when running netscape over VNC. Blackbox is my window manager. All problems vanish when using libc5 version of communicator 4.08. Specific (repeatable) problems were: bus error when closing one window; bus error when using sites protected with basic auth; bus error when selecting menu item in large (50+ item) pop-up menus. None of these I've seen with the libc5 version. I'm running potato current as of a few days ago on a Libretto 100CT, SVGA server using Neomagic chipset, kernel 2.2.10, 64MB RAM. Everything's glibc2.1 that can be. -thomas ...... Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread! EF D8 33 68 B3 E3 E9 D2 C1 3E 51 22 8A AA 7B 98 umbra (!)
