Re: [gentoo-user] Seamonkey and random crashes.

How much RAM do you have? With all those windows and tabs open im guessing
your running out of RAM which may be causing the crashes, do you have a swap
file? If so, how big is it and have you tried increasing its size?

A big swap file may help, although dont expect your system to be responsive
:)

Alternatively, do you get the crashes with fewer windows and tabs open?
