I recently installed Netscape 2.06b (or whatever the latest version is 
called), and I'm experiencing a peculiar problem - I wonder if anyone 
could help explain what's going on. While Netscape is running, if I enter 
a command at a term I get the message 'error: can't map to /dev/zero'. I 
know that /dev/zero is used to return null bytes, but apart from this I 
am mystified what the problem is. Any ideas?
