all i did was upgrade netscape. i didn't upgrade my libc (and in fact i've been running glibc2.1 for a couple months, since before 4.51 was available). i wondered if it was an glibc2.1 issue but figured it shouldn't be because it hadn't been upgraded (unless the communicator-smotif-46) forces it when it uses apt and i didn't notice. anyway, thanks for the info... that sucks though. have you found anything that helps? it crashes about 1 of 4 times i shut down a netscape window, and about 1 of 2 times i try and enter a password protected site ... since these are both things i do a lot it means i'm getting *Very* frustrated. adam.
