Oh?  My Linux stability is perfect with a Netscape and several xterm (and
this tin) running.  Perhaps I don't use Netscape long enough.

:   I have a similar setup as you, i also encountered illegal operation.

It's worthwhile to mention that Microsoft has declared that its
Win95 winsock stack has memory leakage, therefore frequent use of
TCP/IP apps (Netscape, etc.) would reduce system efficiency and may 
affect system stability.  A fix can be downloaded from the Microsoft 
WWW, but some people experience even more problems after applying the 
patch.
