I've been away and a little busy but having deleted everything I could
find that might have been !NetSurf related and trimmed my !Fonts down to
only 10 remaining, I've got a fresh copy of 3.2 running correctly.

Having an ARMX6, I deleted the !Fonts directory completely and copied
across the one from the recovery disk image, plus MathPhys (required by
!TechWriter. My 3.2 came from the same source.

Have a look at NetSurf$ChoicesSave(Macro) - probably
$.!Boot.Choices.WWW.NetSurf

I had a corrupted HotList which caused a similar problem. The Hotlist is
html, so can be inspected in StrongEd or whatever.

My guess is that you're replacing faulty with equally faulty.

I deliberately chose one from an older backup, 23/10/2015, rather than a
more recent one.

I've just repeated the process deleting !Fonts from my !Boot before
copying back the backup.

I have also removed !Cache, and netsurf from !ScrapWWW

A power off restart, a copy of !NetSurf 3.2 from an even older backup and
still the same error.

I think it's now time for bed.

Yes, I've just hit this problem. Unfortunatly none of the versions I have
will even run. They crash out when I try to load them.

This means I cannot get to the !NetSurf site or anywhere else.

What happens when you revert to 3.3?

(You'll need to delete the current installation of NetSurf so that
older files will be copied.)

Yup, tried those so I'm guessing something in !Boot. Noting comments
elsewhere about fonts, I've already done a "force" copy of !Fonts from a
backup with no improvement.

When you say delete.

At present each of my test builds is in a separate dated folder so seen
only when I open that folder. Is that adequate or do I delete everything?

Segfault: issue 2381

[Dave Higton]

If any of you has seen NetSurf quit (the log shows a segfault)
when you clicked in the window, I'd recommend that you get one
of today's builds.  (Last time I looked, the latest was 3053.)

If you're interested, Mantis issue 2381 has more details.
