Now replying to my own mail :)

I managed to do the backtrace after all this time. I overlooked something.
Now the program behaves differently though.. When I try to go to this 
newsgroup (be.comp.os.linux) it doesn't manage to load in all the headers, 
and freezes there. So I hit CTRL-C to stop it, but it kept running. I did the 
bt after that.

Cheers,

Chris.
