Yup, grab a page full of JPGs and watch Netscape grow...
This system is a heavy workhouse server/BBS system. It was just rebooted so
only current threads are shown:
There are 41 Processes with 135 Threads.
This machine's uptime is 0d 0h 18m 57s 591ms.
That is what this thing runs 24/7 and only grows more processes and threads
if I start running stuff ;)

Double check the resolv files then.

There are definately reasons to like Netscape/2. Make sure you are running a
version downloaded from IBM after June 27th 1997 as a major bug fix appeared
that day.
