I've been running Netscape under various kernels from 2.0.27 through
2.0.33 and have only had it hang once, which was when I did a "swapoff
-a" whilst it was running under 2.0.30 - and in my opinion, hangs
caused by doing that are EXTREMELY unlikely to be kernel bugs...
I have not yet tried any of the 2.1 series kernels with Netscape, so
can't comment on that yet...
Best wishes from Riley.
