I had the problem of the infinite restart a few months back, on one of my systems, don't recall what the problem was. May have been a stale dot-directory -- both browsers are pretty picky about having old configs lying around. Was this an upgrade? Try deleting .skipstone or .galeon, as appropriate, and attempting to start again. If that doesn't work, try: $ strace $BROWSER (for appropriate value) and see if you can't work out where things get funky. Note that while I *really* like the concepts, I find them less usable at present than Netscape. -- Karsten M.
