Re: [webmin-l] Unable to start Webmin

[Grant P. <gp...@th...>]

Gerard,

I had a similar issue a while back installing some RAID controller software 
on FreeBSD 4.10.

I tried, and tried, and tried, ... to get an answer on what causes 
"Segmentation" fault(s).

Noone worth noting had an answer that I would consider consise or reliable. 
It is still a mystery to me to this day.

The closest answer I got that made any sense at all was a bad memory stick - 
even that sounded flakey.

I hope you have better luck than I did.
