  I seemed to vaguely remember having solved the problem of Netscape
3.0 crashing with Craig Oda's help (?) a long while ago.  Indeed, when
I checked, I found I'm actually running a tiny script when I start 
Netscape - I still use 3.0 Gold - called 'runet', which consists of
these two lines:

export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libc.so.5.0.9"
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape-gold -geometry 650x700 & 

  This solves all instabilities once and for all.  Now on the other hand
4.0 never worked for me at all, but I haven't bothered trying it since
it was first released.

  By the way, for anyone burning CDs, there's a new (as of 10/18) version
of xcdroast (0.96c), which incorporates cdrecord rather than cdwriter.
Anyone using cdrecord should take a look at it.  It seems to work very
nicely, indeed.  You'll find it at:
