Hello everybody. I have done the following (Mathematica 5.2 for Linux, Ubunty Edgy): In Preferences, HelpBrowserSettings changed ShowCategories to False, pressed "Apply" and "Close". Then I opened Help Browser and clicked on "Show Categories" - at that stage Mathematica crashes with the following message: *** glibc detected ***

the help browser, categories are blank, that is: instead of showing the contents, like "Numerical Computation", "Algebraic Computation" etc. (when showing contents of "Built-in Functions"), nothing is displayed. Is it possible to solve those problems? ddtl.
