I'm trying to use the Linux version of Netscape (4.04)
on NetBSD 1.3BETA. I'm using the Linux version since I want strong
encryption and cannot find a non-export FreeBSD version.
Whenever I run Netscape it will die with a "Bus Error". However,
if I first delete ~/.netscape/preferences.js, Netscape will run.
Here is the end of a ktrace when preferences.js exists:
4412 netscape GIO fd 8 read 3072 bytes
"\^A\0\^E\0\^F\0
\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\^E\0\^F\0\^F\0\M^?\M^?\0\0\0\0\^F\0\^F\0
\0\^B\0\0\0\0\0\^D\0\^F\0\a\0\^B\0\0\0\0\0\^D\0\^F\0\a\0\^B\0\0\0\0\0\
\^E\0"
4412 netscape RET read 3072/0xc00
4412 netscape PSIG SIGSEGV caught handler=0x85b333c mask=0x0 code=0x6
4412 netscape CALL getpid
4412 netscape RET getpid 4412/0x113c
4412 netscape CALL kill(0x113c,0x7)
4412 netscape PSIG SIGBUS SIG_DFL
Here is the same section when preferences.js does not exist (Netscape
continues to run in this case).
4407 netscape GIO fd 8 read 3072 bytes
"\^A\0\^E\0\^F\0
\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\^E\0\^F\0\^F\0\M^?\M^?\0\0\0\0\^F\0\^F\0
\0\^B\0\0\0\0\0\^D\0\^F\0\a\0\^B\0\0\0\0\0\^D\0\^F\0\a\0\^B\0\0\0\0\0\
\^E\0"
4407 netscape RET read 3072/0xc00
4407 netscape PSIG SIGALRM caught handler=0x85b19ec mask=0x0 code=0x0
4407 netscape CALL gettimeofday(0xefbfbbbc,0)
4407 netscape RET gettimeofday 0
4407 netscape CALL sigreturn(0xefbfbc3c)
4407 netscape RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN
4407 netscape CALL writev(0x8,0xefbfbc20,0x2)
Has anyone seen this before? Any idea of now to fix this? Or, better
yet, any idea how I can get a recent FreeBSD version of Netscape with strong
encryption!
