Should use it anyway. But, I have 96MB and 192MB swap. V4.08 started giving
me the same error, such as on freshmeat. I could go directly to a mirror,
no problem. But, go through the main site, which only redirects to a mirror
and, poof: no browser.

Unknown fix. I downgraded to 4.07 from 4.08 and it went away. I never had
this problem with any version until a reinstall I did a couple of weeks ago.
