I am running 2.4.0-test11 and haven't noticed anything mysteriously die
on me. But then again, my machine has 256Mb RAM and I have two swap
files (just for the heck of it), and I haven't noticed any excessive
memory usage. The original poster wasn't using a 2.4.0-test?? kernel
based on the Netscape version info in his headers.
