Re: ld-linux.so.2

ld-linux.so.2 is Netscape's statically linked libraries.  I have to pull up a
java applet for our firewall at work to get internet access.  I'm alway kill -9
'ing the thing...yes it hits 98% and the machine comes to a screaming halt.
Sometimes it dies after 20 minutes...sometimes it'll go for almost 3 hours...but
I'm always kill the process which brings down netscape to.  I want to try
mozilla and I have but M14 still doesn't have java support yet.  So I have open
Netscape 4.7, open the java applet to get internet access and then open M14.
