None of the above. You are running an old kernel which is not 100%
reliable when it comes to dereferencing the trap address to a module.

That said, applications don't cause kernel traps. What they do is expose
defects in the kernel that result in traps.

You might consider trying a newer kernel.

>SS:ESP=0053:0013dfa4 SSACC=d0f3 SSLIM=3fffffff
>EBP=0013dfc0 FLG=00012216

>LIBC04.DLL

You might also consider upgrading to Mozilla 1.6 and make sure you have
the correct version of the gcc runtime.

THis is pretty much expected. The cache files are always open wen Moz is
running. The probability that a kernel trap will not corrupt these file
is near 0.

More likely its related to the kernel/device driver combo you are running.
Mozilla works the system pretty hard, so it will expose kernel problem
better than some other apps.
