If you get a chance please refer to my posting yesterday where I actually detailed the results of my testing and the steps I used. If you need further details feel free to ask. My results seem to suggest one interesting behaviour. At this point I am not sure if it is part kernel, part Netscape or all Netscape. I would lean towards it not being all Kernel, but I could be really wrong given my very limited knowledge of the kernel. Just my professional QA/Testing opinion with varied my technical background.
