Despite Irv Spalten advising "should not do this", I'm running my
FP15+ system with PMMERGE.DLL gotten from testcase.  [I haven't
looked, but Al Savage's depository <http://asavage.fdns.net> might
have 46701_fix.zip or pj28164.zip (either is *later* than pmmerge
in MCP FP1, which is the system level that Irv recommended).]

Ever since I installed such a more-recent pmmerge.dll, I have had
*no* system crashes attributable to Netscape or Mozilla.  (They've
hung a number of times, but I've always been able to kill them with
Process Commander -- and my system did not need to be rebooted.)
