Welcome to the wonderful world of Netscape for unix.
This has always been the case, and there's nothing we can do about
it. Some people report better stability with the Linux version, and it
definitely helps if you disable java (java has never worked right on any
version of Netscape for unix that I've used, and netscape obviously dont
care enough to fix it)
