I downloaded the Netscape Atlas BSD version, and have found that upon starting up Netscape, when you do anything, e.g., clicking on any of the menu items, that causes Netscape to read in its home page at www.netscape.com, it crashes with the error "Floating Exception". I have noticed the same with the regular Netscape version 2.01 for i386-bsd-unknown as well, and this version worked perfectly fine until recently! So it apparently seems to have to do with Netscape's homepage. I can get around it by clicking on one of the "What's New" and "What's Cool" buttons to prevent www.netscape.com's homepage from loading. Does anyone know what's going on here? How do I fix it? Thanks! - Fang
