for me, since the beginning (TP1). My laptop at home
runs woody and TP1, TP2 and now TP3 all segfault instantly
on startup, on my desktop at work which runs woody, it starts
but the "back" function does not work(back button is greyed out,
left clicking in a frame to click back is also greyed out). On my
athlon woody system at home Opera TP1 seems to work ok(have only
used it briefly, and have not tried TP2 or TP3).

I have filed bug reports for every release sofar and opera
has not even responded to me. so far i think 6 bug reports(2
bugs for each release).

don't know whats wrong..why it segfauls on my laptop and
not on my desktop(despite having a fully updated woody on
both systems at the time, everything was configured similarlly
software wise).

my WM is afterstep 1.6 (i manually compile potato's afterstep
for woody since afterstep 1.8 has some defaults that i really
don't like and don't want to spend the time to try to fix them).

so, in a nutshell, on 3 different woody systems, all 3
different versions of opera 6 have been unusable. opera 5
is flawless on all 3 though(flawless as one could expect,
despite its bugs with SSL and stuff, back button works and
it doesn't segfault on startup).

i'll keep trying the newer releases and filing bug reports
though ....opera 6 TP3(or was it TP2) worked good on potato
the brief time i tried it.
