I downloaded the tarball for Solaris 8 Sparc, but did not
have your success with it:  This load had a rather nasty
problem on my system:  Whenever you tried to type anything
into a form on a web page, the browser would dump core.  I
followed the recommendations on the web site, including
blowing away my ~/.mozilla/firefox and unloading all plugins,
but the problem persisted.  I sent a report (along with
stack back trace and an offer to provide more information
as requested) to the email address shown in their readme
file, but have so far heard nothing.

Has anyone else tried the 1.5.0.2 Solaris 8 Sparc load on
their system, and if so, does it exhibit this behavior?
I'm mostly just curious -- I've backed off to 1.5.0.1
which tends to grow without bonds over time but has
otherwise been quite stable for me.  (I typically leave
it up and running for weeks at a time.)  However, I would
really prefer to run the newly patched code.
