Netscape memory leak in debian?
Hi, every one. Has ony one noticed that when you exit Communicator 4.77 if you select File / Exit; then go to the console type top There are still two or at least one communicator process running, takes up a lot of memory and does nothing!. I have to kill it with signal 9. It is a rule I bet that at least on my machine :-). But If you select File / Close and close untill the last netscape windows it doesn't usually happen like that. I got communicator installed from netscape and suspect that it may not be compatible, then I delete that and use apt-get to install from security.debian.org site; it is the same. I can not remember if it happened when I ran Netscape 4.77 in Slack (I got that before) but may be not. I not sure this is debian specific or netscape itself ? what could cause it? how to fix it? any ideas pls ? Steve = S.KIEU _ http://messenger.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

Everybody noticed this and a lot more. Most people wrote a script 'kill -9 netscape; rm -f ~/.netscape/lock' for this. The reason is netscape is a pile of s. It has done a lot of good when it was the only useable graphical browser for linux, but now it's time to give it a rest and use konquerer, mozilla ( 0.9), galeon or opera -- I did not vote for the Austrian government

I suggested to use kill -12, netscape closes nicely bookmarks, history, ... :) Mirek

But still, sometimes only -9 is good enough for netscape -- I did not vote for the Austrian government
