Hi there Folks. First off, let's get this out of the way:

Machine: Amiga 3000, 25MHz, 1960 monitor, WB/KS 3.1, 2 meg Chip, 16 meg
         FAST (SC), EGS 28/24 Spectrum w/2meg, V-Lab Y/C, 2 internal
         hard-drives (Maxtor 245 and Quantum 850), 4 floppies - one of
         'em HD, ZIP drive, CD-ROM, SupraFax V.32bis modem, 2 printers,
         and a par-tridge-in-a-pear-tree! ;-)

WWW software: PPP v1.45 (reg.), AmiTCP v4.2 (reg.), AMosaic v2.0 (Pre-
              release 3). (And MUI v3.3 (unreg.) to facilitate AMosaic.)


Well, I've finally hauled ass and set up for a WWW connection using PPP,
AmiTCP, and AMosaic. I pretty much set things up as per the docs and I'm
getting reasonable results when accessing my ISP in town. Trouble is,
when browsing a WWW page, if I click on a delayed-image icon, it causes
the A3000 to crash - big time! (I have "DelayImageLoads True" set in
AMosaic's prefs file so as to help control traffic costs.)

Say, for instance, I access the AMosaic Home Page and click for the
little logo in the top left hand of the page - y'know it? Well, the
graphic data starts coming across the net but when it hits about 3000
bytes worth, a message appears in AMosaic's bottom gadget, saying:
"Insufficient temporary workspace: Could not transfer data." Then,
CRASH!!! Ditto for any other page in the world.

Now, I'm aware of the 'ImageCacheSize' line in the ENV:Mosaic/Prefs file
- but I've got that set to a reasonable value: 500KB. (Even setting it
to a higher amount like 1000KB (1 meg) doesn't make any difference to
the crash problem.) Also, there's a full range of DataTypes - Gif, JPEG,
ILBM, PCX, etc. present on the machine - and having AMosaic on a WB
screen or its own custom screen, ala MUI prefs, maketh no diff either.

So... anyone have a clue here? Anyone else experienced this glitch - and
found the solution? Any help appreciated! ;-)


Cheers, Tony McKee
