Hmm, I have the same problems on sparc64 - I thought it's 64bit
uncleanliness. Dillo is indeed unstable on sparc64 but rock solid on all
my PowerPC boxes ( running NetBSD or AIX ) and mozilla can be made to
sort of work by removing one component - libtransformiix.so in
/usr/pkg/lib/mozilla(-gtk2)/components, but it's not quite stable
either.
I never tried to run any of these on a 32bit sparc though.

See above. But since mozilla fails with a bus error here I guess it's
still 64bit-related.

have fun
Michael
