Not to say there isn't something funny going on with this whole thing, but I
know that Netscape's web site points out that various things in the linux
communicator are known to have problems. Specifically, there are problems
with certain versions of libc. I used communicator with the libc from
RedHat-4.0 and RedHat-4.2 and it worked OK. Also, for the dynamically
linked version, plug ins are OK, but they crash the statically linked
version. FWIW, I also left Java disabled when I was running it (I went back
to 3.01 Gold since it seems to work better, can use plug ins, and uses less
RAM to boot).
