System: NetBSD berkshire.research.att.com 1.6.2 NetBSD 1.6.2 (BERKSHIRE) #0: Thu Feb 19 10:59:20 EST 2004 smb@berkshire.research.att.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BERKSHIRE i386

>Description:
	Galeon bookmark folders have an option "Open whole folde in tabs",
	which creates a separate tab for each listed page and then
	loads each page into its own tab.  When I use that option, it
	hangs.  I can sometimes get Galeon to hang by doing a full reload
	of a graphics-intensive page such as www.cnn.com.

	The problem started when I upgraded to galeon 1.2.13nb2 along
	with Mozilla 1.6 (galeon relies on Mozilla).  

>How-To-Repeat:
	see above.
>Fix:
	I can bypass the problem by going through a proxy server.
	I speculate that the problem is related to its use of threads
	(but not the underlying thread library; I've see this on 1.6.2
	and on -current with kernel pthreads); the more limited
	concurrency from having a limited number of network connections
	to the proxy may tend to prevent it from happening.
