Found this on http://www.ch45= 49.org/lust/lust.bugfix.001.html:> quote Crashes whenever running a Java-applet. Ends with "bus error" message. Caused by Netscape compiling with dynamic libraries that you might have a slightly different version of.=20 The simplest thing to do is to get gnumalloc [.o or .so] precompiled by some kind soul. Then mv netscape netscape.bin and write a small shellscript for netscape with the crucial words LD_PRELOAD=3D/usr/local/lib/gnumalloc.o just before the call to netscape.bin $*. I suppose gnumalloc hangs around the archive sites, but an archie search will throw up a copy.=20 /unquote I take no responsibilities whatsoever for any burning or crashing linux boxes...
