My wife needs Shockwave for her home business. But version 4 of the
Linux Shockwave/Flash player keeps crashing Netscape 4.72. What might
be wrong?

I go to a site such as www.flash.com, click on the link to say I know I
have Shockwave installed. Netscape starts to download everything, and
then crashes. The window won't redraw, menus don't work, etc... I have
to kill the process to shut it down.

The lockup happened pretty quick, almost as soon as Netscape started
downloading the page. I experimented and turned off Java and Java
Script. Netscape got about 55% downloading the page before it locked up.

These files are in /opt/netscape/plugins:
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         2363 Aug  9  1999 ShockwaveFlash.class
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       765852 Aug 27  1999 libflashplayer.so*

The Help->About-Plugins screen of Netscape shows Flash and Shockwave as
installed and ready.

Running SuSE 6.4 with jre_old (the old Java package). Java itself seems
okay. I use other programs that rely on it.
