Hello,

Mozilla had very same problem with INET6 enabled on previous NetBSD's.  F=
or=20
example, when I visit www.redhat.com with mozilla, it would take very lon=
g=20
time to open.  Will get faster with INET6 disabled in kernel.  Konqueror,=
 on=20
the other hand, had no such problem.  But then I have always compiled KDE=
=20
from pkgsrc instead of using precompiled ones.  compiling KDE3 kept on=20
freezing my system on NetBSD1.6 so I am using the package version. =20
Unfortunately, the package version of Konqueror has problem opening certa=
in=20
webpages with INET6 enabled.  It works fine, however, without INET6 enabl=
ed=20
in kernel.  Try www.cnn.com with INET6 enabled kernel.   Konqueror takes=20
forever to open that page.  Even www.cbsnews.com.  Thank you.
