}This occasionally happens to me, too.  However, I get an error message most
}of the time.  I start up netscape through an xterm (I just type 'netscape &')
}the majority of the time, and whenever netscape crashes, I get an

}problem.

This is exactly what identifies this problem, the 'bus error' message.  Once
I resolved the libc issue, no problem.  And it is a Java applet issue, not an
'intensive' page.  Once I resolved the lib issue, no problem.
