I can verify this. Netscape does start for me, but then hangs at some
point very quickly. The process can't even be killed with a -9, I have
to reboot! This is on 2.1.117 only, 2.1.116 is working fine (except for
the broken things in 2.1.116 :(

The only odd thing about my setup, is that my mail spool is on an NFS
partition.
