I have heard this happening with the Netscape Japanese hack, one is 
where it spits out
such errors onto the terminal, and Netscape refuses to start.  The other 
case is most
likely what you are talking about, where it just spits i onto the 
terminal, but doen't
affect normal operations with in Netscape.  In the seccond case it is 
safe to ingnore them,
and I think that they have something to do with the Japanese patch.

On the other hand if it returns the error and Netscape crashes, then it 
is neccecary to 
change the version of glibc that you are using to something more recent.  
This is also the
case if Netscape hangs on a bus error.

Also:
Another thing that I needed to do to get kinput2 working was to add this 
to my /etc/profile
file, so that it sets the enviorment XMODIFIERS to "@example.com=kinput2"
XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2"; export XMODIFIERS
