You should probably report this upstream... 
Comment 2 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-05 11:15:34 UTC
please report upstream, opera 8 is crashing a lot here as well, just nothing to mark stable yet

new release fixes crashes. So a new ebuild for Opera8.01 technical preview 1 would be nice.

opera-8.01.ebuild

Version bumped ebuild [tested only in x86]
Comment 5 Aquila 2005-06-03 08:50:40 UTC
The current ebuild downloads the .5 version. On SMP systems it appears .6 is 
working a lot better. Opera has released this version on its mirrors and seems 
to be advising to use that one. This has resolved a lot of crashes here.
Comment 6 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-03 10:49:06 UTC
where does opera advise using the .6 version? just corious
