Yes, mine works fine. Dell I7K and dual celeron both work ok. Do you have a symlink
from a user pointing to root's address book. If you do, get rid of it and make a copy.
Netscape (not certain here, suspect strongly this) does not like it when several users
try to use the same files and will crash with all windows closing abruptly. Check the
permissions on the files too.
