I am running Netscape v2.1 on my system and have been trying to access a
site (www.ipr.com) which has a java banner on it. each time i start
downloading the page it (Netscape) locks up when downloading the java banner.
I have been running kernel 1.3.89, and yesterday recompiled using 1.3.100
with the java support compiled in. I was hoping the newer kernel with the
java support would handle the problem, but it still locks up on the banner.

Has anyone else had this problem, and is this a Linux related problem, or is
Netscapes browser hosed.

By the way I tried Netscape-2.2 and got the same behavior.
