Dear NG,
I have a machine w/ FC3 running. I have installed Netscape 7.1 in
/usr/local/netscape, and it used to work fine - until I upgraded the
kernel w/ up2date to version 2.6.11-1.35_FC3smp. I still have version
2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp in the repository, and Netscape continues working w/
that. But as soon I run the machine under 2.6.11-1.35_FC3smp I get the
message "line 150: 5954 Segmentation fault $prog ${1+"$@"}" when I
try to start the browser. This obviously is something related to the
kernel version. The joke is: I even re-installed Netscape after upgrading
to the new kernel - and the phenomenon remains the same!

Are any ideas around?

Thx, Peter
