Title:         Cannot open helper application
Ticket ID:     #356
Ticket URL:    http://bugs.pld.org.pl/?bug=356
Package:       netscape-common-4.77-3
Distribution:  PLD-Ra.main PLD-1.0.devel.main
Category:      doesn't work as it should
Current state: opened
Text:

Open
Edit->preferences->navigator->applications

Edit Postscript Document

Choose Application, enter /usr/X11R6/bin/gv %s

(please note, everytime this option is chosen, a random (?) amount of \, is added at the end of Suffixes)

Click Ok, Ok

go to a web page which offers postscript files

Click on the postscript file

Then an error like

sh /usr/X11R6/bin/gv /tmp/XXXX); rm tmp/XXXX )&: unexpected `/`

appears. XXX is some (existing) pseudorandom file name which containts the file in question. The Closing ) is not part of the file name. Removing .netscape does not alter this behaviour. Choosing different programs (i.e. gvim) does not change this behaviour.
