I've experienced this before running 4.7[2|3] on 3.4-release and -stable. To be honest, I've always found the native versions of Netscape to, well, suck (stability-wise). I'm running the Linux version of 4.74 on 4.1-RC now, and while not perfect, it's definitely better than any BSD version I've tried.
