[svlug] Firefox/Thunderbird closing

[Skip Evans]

Hey Jeff & all,

I launch it from the Fluxbox menu you get when you 
right click in the background of the workspace. 
Don't have Gnome or KDE loaded.

Here is the output from 'ulimit -a'

sevans at skip:~$ ulimit -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                    (-n) 1024
pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size            (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes            (-u) unlimited
virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited

Do you see any adjustments I can make?

I'll launch from from a terminal and leave it open 
to see what ouput I get.
