Hi!

Today I got the following message from my 2.0.27 kernel while using
Netscape 3.01 (libc 5.4.17 but GNU malloc preloaded). After this
Netscape used 60% of the processor time and I had to kill it.

This system (ASUS SP3G, Intel 486/100) is running absolutely
stable for years and I never had such a problem before.
