So, what's this "regxpcom" program that the Mozilla install runs?

It just keeps going and going and going....

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE      TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
 8329 root      64    0  1992K   18M RUN       36:20 91.55% 91.55% regxpcom

USER    PID %CPU %MEM  VSZ   RSS TT STAT STARTED     TIME COMMAND
root   8329 91.2  9.4 1992 18364 p5 R+    8:13PM 38:44.85 ./regxpcom 

 UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI  VSZ   RSS WCHAN STAT TT     TIME COMMAND
   0  8329 28618  36  64  0 1992 18364 -     R+   p5 38:54.09 ./regxpcom 


(It's really depressing to see a big program like that running wild as
root!)

FYI this is on a 2001/06/24 -current i386 system:

	$ uname -srm
	NetBSD 1.5W i386

Trying to start mozilla with this partial install just results in an
immediate core dump:

(why is a "shutdown" a core dump!?!?!?)


This has been the same now for 0.9, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, and 0.9.2nb1.

I should really start with a fresh /usr/pkg now that the buildlink.mk
stuff is mostly working -- I'm afraid what I have on this machine may be
seriously out of sync with itself......

So, I'm going to try the build overnight on my clean PPro-200 system....
