Now that is interesting - just tried to run !Packman on the Iyonix
and got the exact same crash and stackdump. Looks like it might be
something to do with SharedULib, although my version is 1.12 (5 Feb
2011). I cannot think what else NetSurf and Packman might have in
common.

The computer it's running on :)  If you have more than one memory stick,
try using only one at a time to see if one of them is faulty.

I also seem to remember that the PSUs in Iyonixes are famously
unreliable.

Chris, did you get my email about how I have been upgrading my !Boot?

BTW I am running SharedULib 2.13 here but It works with v2.12.

Neither of those remarks are in the least bit helpful.

 Should of course be 1.13 and 1.12

Have you tried checking if the RAM is faulty?  It's amazing how bizarre
the problems that faulty RAM can cause.

As for the PSU, it was a serious suggestion: low or faulting voltages
can cause any number of bizarre, reproducible, unreproducible, precise,
and imprecise problems.

So yes, they're things worth checking when you've run out of ideas for
other things to check.

No I definitely think that is something to do with the ROOL 28th Mar 2014
!Boot. I have just tried my saved Boot of that download and Netsurf crashes,
back to my 30th Mar 2014 !Boot and all is well again.

I took a picture of the error box ;-). Thus.
