Already bitten by it (that'll teach me to jump at a chance to reduce
crash rates on Netscrape ;)
It appears to have been repository copied, but not upgraded to 4.6 yet.
This (quick horribly ugly) hack will let you at least get it installed
(provided you 'make NO_CHECKSUM=yes'), though it'll still be in
/usr/local/netscape4.51/, and the binary will be called communicator-4.51.bin,
and other sundry ugly bits:
