Attempting to restart Netscape once quitting that initial invocation will fail. The process starts chewing up all of the CPU and not doing anything useful. Switching to an earlier Linux version, and then back to 4.02b7 will temporarily allow it to run (and again bring up the license agreement window). I ktraced the process and it appears to be stuck doing gettimeofday()'s, until I killed it. Any ideas?
