    Hi,

    I removed some messages from my netscape communicator 4.75
    Inbox (25Mb), then I "Compacted all folders". The machine
    froze rock solid.
    After a reboot I tried to open (using netscape) the temporary
    netscape mailbox (Inbox.<pid>.0) the crash left in nsmail/.
    The system froze again. Today, before switching back to
    test9-pre1, I had another (mail-related ?, this
    time I was using pine) crash.

    My machine is a dell inspiron7000 laptop with 192Mb ram.

    BTW. I am using 2.4.0-test6 on a 4 way dell server. It runs
    well most of the time. However sometimes (the first time
    after 14 days of uptime, then after a week and finally after 4 days)
    it simply hangs.
    The screen is black. No diagnostic messages anywhere.
    SysRq does not work. The only solution is to cycle-power.
