Anyone else out there running Netscape Navigator 4.6 or 4.7 under RHL6.1 + Gnome seeing a slow but massive memory leak? I'm seeing sizes like 200+ MB after a few hours of running without restarting it. It gets really annoying because of all the swap partition activity, which is noisy and sluggish. I'm seeing this now with NN 4.7, but it also happened with NN 4.6 fresh out of the box with the "everything" auto-install of RHL6.1. Possibly did I tork something in my configs somewhere really bad or is Linux NN just a complete piece of garbage? Would love to use Mozilla, but I tried M12 and hated it, and from a list of new features/fixes in M13, it doesn't sound like M13 is really any better for serious use. So I'm stuck with Netscape. (Tried Amaya (junk) and a couple others too (also junk).) --Todd
