Hi all,

I updated the pkgsrc on my system.
Because i couldnt find a nice browser i tryed arena.
I installed it with the packages.
And man..... after twice closing of arena due to a segmentation fault...
The third time the whole system hang!!!!!!!!
I tryed it several times! and when i try http://linuxtoday.com
Many times the system hang on that./
I run netbsd 1.4 on a i386 machine.
But man... an aplication that can cause an os to hang.... that sucks deep.
I thought the netbsd kernel was running in protected mode...
Then plz explain how an aplication can cause the os to hang?
Try it out yourselfs... i am deeply shocked...
Sincerely,

Reinoud.
