SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Internet Explorer for UNIX on Sun Solaris on a
SparcStation with the Sun shared memory transport extensions enabled,
Internet Explorer may stop responding (hang).
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, clear or unset the XSUNTRANSPORT and
XSUNSMESIZE environmental variables before starting Internet Explorer.
To automate the unsetting of the variables, you can edit the script
located at <install directory>/bin/iexplorer to add the UNSETENV commands.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Internet Explorer 4.01
for UNIX on Sun Solaris.
