I had the same problem.. HOWEVER, I've been running RH 6.2 for a while.
I don't know if this is a MDK problem, or something thats just gotten
copied.
RH left out a line in the X11 file that specifies fonts.. ( I'm sorry I
have this
written down somewhere but I cannot find it at the moment.. ).
It was something like the 100 dpi fonts were left out and if you loaded
a Java page that
required this, instant crash.. One of my local linux buddies found it..
I was really frustrated since my companies homepage ( local TV station )
has a java app that
prints the nights features on a "tv" screen and it always worked
before..
When I loaded RH 6.2 it crashed. I had to turn Java off also.. Until my
friend told me to
add the 100 dpi fonts.. Ever since then I have had NO Java crashes in
Netscape.
Perhaps, its the same thing??
