I've a feeling that somewhere there is a memory problem. Netscape-specific perhaps, but I suspect otherwise due to what I've seen. For example: the one machine that I have which will constantly dump core when Netscape is run is an HP Vectra. I've tried 3.0, 2.2.8, all current patches, etc. Core dump. Yet when I loaded Linux, it worked without incident. I have not yet tried Linux emulation, but will give it a shot. I suspected that perhaps the netscape binary needed to be recompiled against a current system. Why? System calls are updated, etc. There might be something really funky going on. The fact that it's stripped of debugging symbols doesn't help much -- but perhaps someone more adept at debugging might take a moment to look into it.
