The Mandrake 4.75 versions of Netscape are apparently compiled against
the newer glibc2.something libs.  After some horror with 4.74 (glibc5),
setting of the environment variables made it reasonably stable.  Since
(rpm) upgrading to 4.75, it has proven entirely stable, with only one or
two crashes that I can remember (well as stable as a bloated browser can
be!) over a couple of months From the above, it may be that its actually
the older glibc packages and incorrectly set up environment causing most
of the grief - the environment is at least easily fixable.
