Jordan,
I think Steven was saying to Sandy that if he only uses eCS for
experimentation, that he may not encounter the same error that he sees
on OS/2 Warp 4, because he isn't using SeaMonkey for long enough that a
memory leak uses up all available memory and causes a trap.

You (and I, for that matter) are not seeing the same error for some
reason, or probably several reasons.

I tend to use eCS for a few hours at a time, then I power the machine
off until I need it again. (I go for a morning bicycle ride every day,
and I go to the gym four afternoons a week, and I don't leave the
computer running while I'm gone, or overnight. Too cheap to pay the
electricity bills....) I also switch from eCS to WinXP now and then,
and my daughter will only grudgingly use eCS when she want s to surf the
Web. So my system gets to "recover" fairly often if there are memory
leaks threatening the stability of my machine.
