As a (perhaps) useful datapoint, I haven't had *any* problems with 4.02b7.
I run stock 2.2.2, and it just works. I haven't needed to change anything
in the preferences file to do this. My bookmarks file is > 90K, and it's
run under XFree86 and Accelerated X servers.
This was the first version of Netscape installed on this machine.
I've run other versions on other machines, and they all proved to be slightly
flaky. This is the first one I've used that hasn't dropped core on me so far.
