Worksforme, using N6 verification build 2000092005 on Win98.  Are you doing
anything else other than launching into Navigator and switching?
Can't reproduce this in today's mozilla verification build on Win98 either.

this wfm in 2000092005 win98...
Sorry for this wrong alert. I don't know what happened. Yesterday, I actually
_did_ check this several times and always crashed. Today it's working just
perfect.... Maybe because I turned off my computer or because I slept over it??

No need to apologize, we've all filed bugs that other folks couldn't reproduce,
that doesn't make them invalid though.  Please reopen if you see it again.

This still happens intermittently. Also with today's build (ID 2000092108).
Reopening.

How often? What are the steps to reproduce?

I don't know where else to go with this.  I can't reproduce this at all with
today's builds on win98.  Erich, could you please try it in a talkback build and
post the talkback incident ID?  Thanks.

Asa or Sarah, do you see this?

Not seeing this with recent builds.

marking this WFM for now.

Erich: please delete mozregistry.dat and mozver.dat in C:\WINDOWS, your Users50 
(profiles) dir in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla, and your current build, 
and try this again in a new talkback-enabled nightly build.  If you _still_ see 
the problem, please reopen this bug and provide a talkback incident ID of the 
crash.  Thanks.
