A libc, netscape, WordPerfect problem should _NEVER_ crash linux itself. (for the kernel, libc is just a part any application like netscape/gcc,etc, so bugs in libc should, just like bugs in netscape, not crash linux). Do you guys really mean crashing linux, as in a solid system crash, not be able to telnet into your mashine, etc? Or just a sigseg of netscape/whatever? > > > Today, I just discovered StarOffice.
