This might not be exact correct syntax but I also noticed this,
especially with a Netscape
session that this ld-linux.so.2 was running along with netscape. If you
kill it Netscape dies.
I don't know what Mandrake's reasoning is behind this, but my local
linux buddies tell me it's a
loader, sort of like a wrapper to run netscape. Anyway, my friend over
a night of irc and beer, told
me how to fix this. I did and now netscape on my system does not
require the use of the ld-linux file.
I was trying to fix excessive memory use and this process was using more
memory than I thought it should be..
I thought I had logged the session so I had the instructions on how to
do this, but either I didn't or I just
can't find it at the moment. It did help *slightly* on the amount of
ram uses, but not significant, so I don't
know if it's even worth doing..
I'm sure this doesn't make sense, since I really don't understand at
this point *exactly* what a wrapper does..
Hope this might help a tiny bit..
