If you are running FreeBSD 5.x and are experiencing a core dump when starting Opera, try updating the compat4x port. *** IMPORTANT: users with custom search.ini *** If you have a custom search.ini and you've used opera 7.51 or an earlier version before this upgrade, edit ~/.opera/search.ini _before_ running the upgraded Opera for the first time, and change the file version to 4. It should look like this: [Version] File Version=4
