Termified mosaic and netscape work under 1.3.57, fail with
"Requested document (URL http://www.yahoo.com/) could not be accessed"
(mosaic) error under 1.3.68. Strace suggests a possible bug in sockets.

Client machine Slackware 3.0 with 1.3.57 or 1.3.68; mosaic2.7b2;
netscape 1.12 or 2.0

Extracts from "strace mosaic":
1.3.57
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 5
ioctl(5, FIONBIO, [1]) = 0
setsockopt(5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
connect(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1344), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0

1.3.68
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 5
ioctl(5, FIONBIO, [1]) = 0
setsockopt(5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
connect(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1041), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.
0.1")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

Can send full straces upon request.

TIA,
