Hi,
I already gave it a try with Com47Swiki12 to see if the problem with IE
was solved. It look it is not completelly gone. The console error does
not appear (telling about not enough resources) but Squeaks still hangs.
Takes the CPU to 90% percent, grows 20 megs in memory (as reported by
windows) and goes down both in memory and processor just to continue
growing.
I tried this on a windows 2000, IE 5 running on the same machine,
hitting the reload button 20 times in 8 seconds :)
After 5 minutes I just killed it.
I tried it both with the 3.0 image and the new, totally up-to-date 3.1.
I still have the same behavior with the pictures on the swiki menu bar;
some of them are not displayed.
With Netscape works fine.
:(
Just to let you know.
Saludos,
Casco
