Parameters to prevent Netscape from crashing?

[Lars Bylander]

I picked up the Nestcape 4.73 browser from
HPs website unixsolutions. The problem is
that the browser core dumps once a day or so. Typically with the following string in the
core file:

proc[1] icode: execve("%F") failed, errno %E
$Revision: 92453-07 linker linker crt0.o A.10.44 951031 $
/usr/lib/dld.sl
ERROR: mmap failed for dld

Are there any system or setup parameters that
can be set to prevent the browser from
crashing?

Who supports the browser, Netscape or HP?

Are the older browser versions more stable?

I am using the browser on comupters as
712, C110, B180 and B1000 running
HP-UX 10.20.

Best regards
Lars Bylander

dld.sl errors typically mean 2 things;
1. not enough swapspace - check you dont run out of swap when netscape is running (keep a close eye on it over a period of time)
2. kernel parameters need increasing; maxdsiz, maxtsiz, maxssiz. Increase them all and rebuild the kernel and reboot and you should be fine.

To add to Stefan's contribution, increase your swap space. Set nbuf=0; bufpages=0 and swapmem_on=1 fron kernel configuration.
