Glad it worked. Clarification: The error message I eliminated by moving my
.netscape/ directory was also "aborted," like yours; I remembered wrong. I
had seen "bus error" because that's what it says if I start netscape from
the console and then kill it from there instead of using an exit command
(either with kill or with Ctrl-C). This sounds like it should be helpful
information but I have no idea what you could do with it, unless you were
accidentally typing "netscape & kill %netscape" and not noticing. I think
that's unlikely; but something like that could be happening down the line.
Also, I appear to be running 4.07 instead of 4.05; that may also make a
difference.
Good luck,
Rob
