OK All fixed. I found out the problem. The problem was in the filier
system here at work. It went down and while RAID was trying to rebuild
it went down again. My mail got lost telling me to reboot my machine. 


Opera and the nppdf.so work fine now, as does my galeon and netscape
browsers.

Thanks Oliver for helping, sorry for the inconvenience.
