Another example of stuff breaking on my system: *** Netscape ***

I run Netscape Messenger 4.72. When I open a message, I get this error:

XF86BigfontQueryFont: could not attach shm segment.

NOTE: I am running XFree86 3.9.18. I have not recompiled XFree86
since installing kernel 2.3.51. Not sure if this matters.

Thanks,
Miles
