I just installed 2.0.26 and most things seem to now be
working. However, when I visit a java-full web page with netscape
3.01, it (netscape) crashes with a bus error.

I saw the header of a posting about this recently but didn't read
it. Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

There are a number of fixes for this... I am using one that seems to
work pretty well, after having tried several others.  (I have not tried
a "gnu_malloc" fix I've occassionally seen posted, it might be superior
to what I am doing, but I don't know this from my own experience.)  What
I have done is (Netscape 3.0 on Linux 2.0.18):

1) get libc.so.5.2.18, put it in a directory /lib/5218

2) call Netscape from a shell script:
--------------

#!/bin/sh
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/5218/libc.so.5.2.18
export LD_PRELOAD
/usr/local/netscape/netscape $*
--------------
Hope this helps.

Cheers, Bob L.
