My only difference is that I already have 128 meg of RAM, RH 6.1 running on
the Gnome login with enlightenment in there somewhere...
This does not happen when running Netscape 6 I might add.. something in
their rehash of it appears to have stopped it from happening..
but yes, it's a "many netscape window" situation that starts it off, then
you get another instance of the library for each extra window you have open.
this is the point where I shrug my shoulders...
