I find any attempts to connect to links such as;

It is. I suggest using TinyURL or such to provide one easier to get to

results in Seamonkey crashing. This has been
true for 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 in my case. It seems to be true for links
connecting to PDF files. IE8 connects without difficulty. My OS is
Windows 7 with 8 GB memory and ample disk space. I just did a clean
install of 2.0.4 after uninstalling 2.0.3 but the problem remains.
BTW, I can usually right click and save the link target with no problem
but, clicking to connect crashes Seamonkey.
Any suggestions??
Works for me in SM 2.04 under Windows XP with 4GB RAM, with a caveat
noted below.
Right-click and Save Link As on the View link by each project saves a
PDF locally. Attempting to open it in SeaMonkey invokes Acrobat Reader
to display the PDF.
One thing you might try is a configuration change in Acrobat Reader.
Invoke Acrobat Reader, select Edit/Preferences, and in the Internet page
*uncheck* "Display PDF in browser". Normally, the browser attepts to
call Acrobat Reader as a plugin, and displays the PDF in a tab.
Unchecking that option in Reader makes it open in a new window as a
separate external process.
I formed this habit years back to work around a bug in Acrobat - if it
was called as a plugin from the browser, the Acrobat process remained in
memory, even *after* closing the browser. It's possible Acrobat Reader
no longer has that annoying behavior, but I've felt no need to change
back to the default behavior.
Do that and I think it will fix your crash problem.

Thanks Dennis and Paul for the tips. Dennis, I tried your suggestion in
Reader preferences and while there, I noticed a connect speed dialogue
under Internet which was set at 56K. I don't remember ever seeing that
before. I reset it to LAN.
I shut down and rebooted but find the problem still exists for me.
Neither correction made a difference. The reader never appears, there is
a delay of several seconds and Seamonkey crashes.
I must be living under "Murphy's Law".

I have no problem with SM 2.04. Perhaps there is something in your
profile that is causing it to crash. You could create a new profile for
testing purposes to see if it still crashes with the "test" profile.
