Genericly, a bus error is a misaligned memory access. It is almost always
the result of using a pointer while contains garbage instead of a valid
address. And therefore, it generally merely means "this program has a
bug in it". Without the source (and some familiarity with the source)
you won't get much more specific than that.
Now, to netscape bus errors:
I have occasionally found them to be associated with cached data.
Try:
- shut down netscape completely
- rm -r ~/.netscape/cache
- fire up netscape again
- revisit ebay
Of course, assorted other things will crash netscape.
If this persists, give Mozilla 1.0rc2 a try. I'm using 1.0rc1 very
happily.

[The Press] had tried to contact usenet but that no one had been available
for comment. That's odd, I thought, if there's one thing you can say about
usenet, its that there's usually someone available for comment.
