[WEB4LIB] Netscape Communicator 4.06 doesn't follow clicked links

[Vladislav S. Davidzon]

When we first upgraded to 4.03 when it came out, I had the same darned
problem.  For some reason, Communicator was opening a second copy of itself.
Look at ALT+TAB / start menu, see if a second copy is being loaded.

I would not necesserily blame this little bug on Netscape or NT.  Look at
how the pages are coded, maybe there is something certain about the pages
where the program stops responding.   I do suspect that Navigator has fauly
handling of target tags.

Just me .02.

>We have had this problem with NT workstations and Navigator 4.03.
Rebooting is the only solution we've found.  We haven't had it happen more
than once a day on any given workstation, though.  In fact, the problem
happens pretty sporadically-not often enough to be considered more than a
nuisance.  If there is any pattern, I haven't spotted it.

NT's use of RAM.  That's just a guess.  I don't think it's a Netscape
problem, because we have observed the same behavior in NT's Calculator
applet.  All of a sudden, the buttons don't work and rebooting fixes it.  I
will say, however, that I haven't seen Calculator do it nearly as often as
Netscape.  Those are the only two applications I've seen this happen with.
