Re: Netscape core dump, happily :-)

1999-10-04 Thread George W. Dinolt



I am running FreeBSD 4.0. I have been seeing the empty core files from
netscape 4.61 and (as of last night) 4.7 for at least a week. I use
fvwm2 and afterstep-devel. The behavior seems to be independant of the
window manager. I rebuilt all my ports (including X and new X aout
files) with the new kernel and world as of Saturday, but this has had
no effect. Mostly this behavior is anoying, although occasionally I
will see a crash when I try to read mail. Things seem a little stabler
with netscape in linux emulation mode, but I haven't kept track
closely enough to tell.

 It happens to me with 4.61 and 4.70 , it doesn't happen with 3.2-STABLE I 
 have at work.

Yes, I've been experiencing that as well.  It writes a zero length
core file in my home directory and exits with signal 10:

Oct  1 16:20:53 void /kernel: pid 18518 (navigator-4.61.b), uid
1000: exited on signal 10

It's incredibly annoying, but I haven't bothered to track it down
in any great detail.

I have had problems using the combination of Netscape 4.61, Afterstep
1.7.25, and Slashdot.  Nearly every other click will cause Netscape to
crash whereas if I change the browser, the website, or the WM, I have no
problems at all.

I am using Xaccel 5.0.2 with windowmaker 0.61 but my crashes happening also 
on local file browsing ...
It is very annoying because when you begin to surf you always open multiple 
window and you can't close them without the fear to crash everything (with 
downloads too)...

I am using the FreeBSD version, perhaps the other versions (linux, bsdi) 
are immune...

Disable Javascript and the problem will go away (ugh).  I once had
it crash over 30 times in a single day.

Same here. Navigator 4.61. Previous versions didn't show this behavior.

That's odd, I have not been able to make netscape crash.

I have JavaScript disabled by default. Still, navigator frequently
crashes on close or (I couldn't care less) exit.

It's not related to Javascript or at least not these cores ...
Here it crashes also when browsing local files (without Javascript) and it 
DOESN'T happen with 3.3-STABLE...

So it has to be a 4.0-CURRENT problem that perhaps worths to be investigate 
better...
It is not kind to have the "default" browser crashes so heavily and 
couldn't rely on it...

I'd like to know if people using other platforms (like Linux and BSDI) 
and/or other wm (I use windowmaker) has  the same problem...

Thanks for your time...
