Very Computer

when i first execute netscape communicator or open big images, a
process
named  /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 eats up all my system
resources
and I usually have to kill the process. I think it is about the
graphics library. does anyone know what this file is for?

Which Linux distro and which Netscape version?  Some Netscape versions
were not very well behaved and on certain bad html (or javascript?) caused
Netscape to lockup and leave the above mentioned lib process hogging
memory unless you kill all the netscape processes manually.  Something
similar would happen if you exited X without closing Netscape.

I think that is fixed in more recent versions, or at least I have not had
that problem in SuSE 7.1 (although some MSIE specific pages don't render
well in Netscape 4.77).

Some website admins are wacko.  One site tells me they don't support
Netscape 4 and another says they don't support Netscape 6.  Some force
their own unreadable (often tiny) fonts and if you disable that things
overlap or spread way out down the page.  Their loss.
