I use Communicator 4.5 everyday under both NT 4.0 SP3 and SuSE Linux 5.3
d and I can't say I see much in the way of crashing. Yes Communicator
does crash once in a while on both my systems but it is quite rare. I
use messenger as my email client on both platforms too. There does seem
to be some strange behavior where Communicator seems to use alot of
memory. I noticed one time that netscape had a process size of 130MB.
It's didn't crash and I simply shut it down and restarted and then it
was fine again. I only saw this behavior the one time. It was very
obvious as anything I did within Netscape caused the disk to thrash a
bit due to swapping. My primary Linux box that I use daily has a fair
amount of memory: 128MB of RAM and a 128MB swap partition.
