[... and have now returned to...(:-/)] 44674

I should also mention that NetPositive doesn't work directly even
in that rev.  [NetPositive?! Yep -- For the websites that it still works on
-- which are the majority I access regularly, like Google, Wikipedia, and
the BBC -- it's many times as fast as even W+. (I just did some timing:
BBC -- 3 secs vs 25 to bring up the main page!)  I don't have to wait and
fume while all that javascript is sorted out!]

I tracked that down a while ago to libmail.so, which seems to have
changed the prototype for encode_base64(...).  As I don't use Haiku's
Mail, I've just been substituting an old libmail that satisfies N+.
(I'm not sure I understand the actual problem -- the symbol in the library
now seems to have no mangling at all.)

Sorry, I was fuzzy there.  The Terminal itself doesn't lock up, but if I
close it, the ruby process is so solidly locked that it stays around
until whacked by ProcessController.
