The motherboard is a no-name computer show special -- I have no identificationother
than "model 5IW" and "made in Taiwan" :-) It has an Intel 133 MHz Pentium
and a Triton chipset. I had 16 MB of EDO in two SIMM slots. I added another 32
MB of EDO in the other two slots. Kernel is 2.0.34.
Here's what gdb told me :
Core was generated by `/usr/lib/netscape/netscape-communicator
/usr/doc/HTML/index.html'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal Instruction.
#0 0x40028c1f in ?? ()
I'd be interested in the patch, or if you could lead me in the right direction,
I'll download it myself.
Thanks for your help
Also - Norbert - thanks for your reply - that may also be the case. I've
switched the SIMMs around to see if the problem goes away..
