Hi,
Netscape seems to be rather broken in 2.1.91pre2 for me. Has anyone
else noticed this? I ran it with strace, and it seemed to be looping
with SIGALRMs.
"
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
gettimeofday({890899910, 81485}, NULL) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
gettimeofday({890899910, 136729}, NULL) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
gettimeofday({890899910, 181987}, NULL) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) ---
gettimeofday({890899910, 231479}, NULL) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
"
Stuff like that. Eventually, it brought up a screen, but it was running
very, very slowly and haltingly. This is Netscape Communicator 4.04 on
2.1.91pre2 on a Cyrix 586/100 compiled with egcs-2.91.15 with -O99. I don't
think that is the problem, as it ran okay on pre1. If you need more
information, feel free to ask.
