[from Peter Teuben <teuben@astro.umd.edu> ]
Hello:
(i've posted this problem many versions ago, but it's still
present in the last 1997 4.04 version of netscape)
Once again I lost a number of important files, preferences.js
and my .newsrc file for sure, maybe more. I've written about
this before. When is netscape going to save its files in
a proper way (save to a temp name, if successfull remove
the old one and rename the temp). Please please pretty please?
If your disk quota run out, or your disk happens to fill up, you are
in serious trouble as netscape tries to write to the same file, and thus will
write a 0-length file. Goodbye all your hard labor.
It's probably present in all versions, although I've had this
problem/accident now two or three times over the recent past
and on linux.
