Hello all,
I had been using Netscape 4.7-2 extensively on RHL6.x and it appeared to cache
and pickup from disk quite a bit. Even after I cleared netscape disk and
mem cache. Linux (per top) was using about 2/3's my swap partition, so I
exited netscape and all my apps, shutdown, and it hung on something after [ok]
closing squid. I finally had to cold boot (ug!) and it came up, cleaned the
disks, I rebooted again, and all came up clean.
But now I get the following when I load netscape (which does come up, but I'm
pretty sure I never got a Z <defunct> entry for netscape before. (1) Any
ideas what this is and how to fix????
1233 ? S 0:04 /usr/lib/netscape/netscape-communicator
-irix-session
1245 ? Z 0:00 [netscape-commun <defunct>]
Also, even more severe, I'd say, is my perfectly working StarOffice 5.1a (SUN)
has stopped opening any files for me, ie. when I to file/open or when I go
through worplace, and into the directory/files, and double click or right click
and do open !!! Just does nothing!!! What on earth happened??? I think this
started before I shutdown (as described above) which is another reason I
decided to shutdown. Each time I try to load a message in SOffice I see thise
"can't update from XX to X" messages in my message file -> see below...

(2) Any ideas what this message and SO51a problem is and how to fix????
(3) One more thing, I notice that the more I use RHL6.x I am finding it starts
to use up all its memory, and doesn't clear things from swap, and seems like
eventually I have to reboot to clear memory. Is there a problem with the
kernel handling used memory, or cleaning it up???? k2.2.5-15 I use VMWare
1.03 on occasion, and that takes up memory too, but when I close it, Linux does
not seem to get the memory back??? App or Kernel/OS issue???
This is the first I've seen preblems (1) and (2), but (3) seems to happen
always.
THANKS
-Jon
