This is true with Pegasus 4.02a (latest version for Windoze) on Windows 2k
(5.0.2195 sp 3 build 2195) with English as default language.  Pegasus uses its
own external program URLPROXY.EXE which I think uses very standard Windoze
calls.  It only happens if Mozilla isn't launched, if it is launched, everything
goes fine so  I assume something is happening in the parsing of a commmand line
invocation of Mozilla that gets interpreted as a call to www.1.com if mozilla
isn't running but either the "1" doesn't get passed or something else is
different if URLPROXY.EXE is running.  

Politics: Pegasus are at www.pmail.com and, though in a sense they're
competition and not open source, I do still have great indeptedness to them for
years of cheap/free Emailing and don't want to change from them until I really
can go open source for everything and be able to shift all my pegasus archives.

Thanks for Mozilla and bugzilla: looking good so far.

In a fit of total perversity, I decided to go ahead and upgrade form Pegasus
3.12c to 4.02a, since I was in a upgrading mood this night. Now I no longer get
this behavior and everything is working fine. (It also worked fine in Pegasus
4.02 before I applied the 4.02a patch.) Can anyone else get this bug to happen
with Mozilla 1.3 and Pegasus 4.02+. If not, then this bug should be marked
RESOLVED WONTFIX with a note placed in the documentation for users of Pegasus to
upgrade to the latest version of that program.

WFM, Mozilla 1.8a, Pegasus 4.21c. It has been working for a long time.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
