I think it's a bug in the filesystem somewhere, because this happens while IBrowse is reading it's cache files. There's no such problem with other browsers or other network related tools, so I don't think this is network related.

I have not experienced any crashes yet with IBrowse 2.5. I use kick 3.1 (A4000), WB3.9.

from me it freezes once every two times :( ...and i don't know why...

Kickstart 3.1.4 and Amiberry 3.4b on DietPI.

I had the crashes too with the latest IBrowse. Solution is to enable the FPU (68882 in my case).

I can confirm that it crashes without FPU. My "high-end" Amiga setup use 68030 CPU, 68882 FPU and JIT enabled. I never had IBrowse issues with that setup. Now I tried to disable the FPU, and that caused IBrowse to crash as soon as it started to render a website.

This seems to be a weird case:

  • I cannot get a crash from IBrowse on my 64-bit based, WB 3.9 installation. No matter how many times I (re)start it, it works as expected.
  • I can get it to crash under AmiKit however, on the same 64-bit device, under this scenario only: Run it once, close it down, run it again.
  • I cannot get it to crash when using a Debug build - this only happens on Release (optimized) builds.
  • When it crashes, it's regardless of the JIT setting.

This specific issue seems to be related to filesystem access, from what I could tell.

I have been suffering this bug for a while. I have solved it changing this in the Ibrowse settings:

-Network--->cache --->disk cache--->SIZE OFF

After this change I can open Ibrowse multiple times without a single crash. Hope this helps if you want to use it with Amyberry. Cheers.

Oh, thanks! I had tracked it down to be related to the cache it keeps, but I didn't check the options to see if anything there would help (doh).

Hi Midwan. Great. In fact I read what you already said about reading cache files...so I have been trying different settings and today I came across with this setting. I have been opening Ibrowse more than twenty times (lol) one after another...and no crash on my side. :-)

This issue has been stale for quite a while now, so I'll close it since we have a workaround.
