Thank you for sharing your views Ivan. I just want to make clear as perhaps my previous post may have given a wrong impression. It was not my intention for what I said to be taken as criticism of Gnuzilla in any way. Peoples' efforts on projects such as Gnuzilla, SBo work and all similar I find

hi there all I have tried the -Os switch and it does appear to remedy the problem. Icecat no longer crashes in the scenario(s) I have documented. I wonder what the -O2 switch does differently to the -Os one. So for now that does appear to be the 'fix'. Thank you all. Habs On 8 August 2016

I was led to believe that the webstart provision in OpenJDK was not as complete (probably not the correct word, but still) as in Oracle version. That may have changed with later releases perhaps. Habs On 16 March 2016 at 12:40, Rich Shepard wrote: > On Wed, 16 Mar
