System: NetBSD zoo 1.5ZB NetBSD 1.5ZB (ZOO-$Revision: 1.70 $) #0: Sun Mar 10 14:35:50 MST 2002 jim@roc:/wd1/var/tmp/compile/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZOO i386

>Description:
	On a -current i386 system (kernel and userland built from sources
	updated Fri Apr 12 03:24:23 MDT 2002), the suse 7.3 (now the
	default version) packages cause netscape (communicator-4.79)
	and acrobat reader (acroread-4.05) to malfunction.

	Netscape properly comes up with its initial window, but I am
	unable to type anything into the "Location:" window.  If I
	iconify the program and deiconify it, the window remains blank.
	When I check the processes on the system, I find that netscape
	is eating up all of the cpu.  If I kill the process, the window
	disappears, but the program doesn't die and continues eating
	cpu ad infinitum.  Only "kill -9" will get rid of it.

	Acrobat reader will properly display a file named on the command
	line and seems mostly to operate normally, but it hangs and various
	parts of its window become gray if I try to open a file (either
	from the "Open" entry in the "File" menu or via Ctrl-O).  It is
	totally unresponsive thereafter, except that it can be iconified.
	It has to be killed externally.

	Deleting the suse 7.3 packages and replacing them with the suse64
	packages solves both problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.

>Fix:
	Unknown, though using the 6.4 suse packages is a workaround.
