Potential solution to netscape crashing?

[Mark Wagnon <mwagnon1@home.com>]

Hi all:

I too have been plagued by netscape since moving up to potato. I thought
it was a WM thing, but that wasn't it. I thought it was a netscape
version thing, but it wasn't that either. I moved back to slink, but
*that* wasn't it either! So I decided to remover java support and I
haven't had a problem in the last couple of days (knock on wood). 

I was perusing the newsgroups and came across this. There are also
several references to it on deja too. The fix seems to be a strange one,
and particular to a redhat system. The posting is as follows:

I took a look at my xfs in init.d and I don't have a catalogue section.
Maybe someone else who knows what theyre doing can try this out and see
if it works?
