[Slackbuilds-users] icecat 38.8.0 crashes

[bch at shroggslodge.freeserve.co.uk]

hi there all

I have tried the -Os switch and it does appear to remedy the problem.
Icecat no longer crashes in the scenario(s) I have documented.

I wonder what the -O2 switch does differently to the -Os one.

So for now that does appear to be the 'fix'. Thank you all.
