Problem while starting binary...-No such file or directory

Hi!

When I try to start the netscape-binary (netscape 4.5) I only get the
message "No such file or directory".
Is this a (known) kernel bug?
It seems that strace cannot exec the file at all. But it doesn't seem to
be a problem of the PATH environement.
But why does it say "No such file or directory"?

Greetings, Michael
