I tried "strace -f mozilla -mail" and got the excerpt below. I didn't
test out the browser much, it does come up alright though.
Is a bug filed for this one?
Jim
I hope someone files one quick. I can't tell since it seems to affect
both Mozilla and Konqueror the same way. If push comes to shove, I can
learn to navigate bugzilla using lynx. The major upgrades today (besides
Mozilla) were XFree86, glibc, and the kernel. The kernel doesn't seem to
matter since I tried the old one. I also tried downgrading glibc to the
original beta2 versions with no effect. Haven't tried XFree86 yet.
