Communicator is a meta package. This bug should be reassigned to
the version of netscape which crashes.

Should this be release-critical? Don't we ship 2.2 headers by default?
If this can't be fixed easily, it might be acceptable to downgrade it.

May be caused by old ~/.mozilla directory.

As above - meta package.

<whole bunch of netscape RCBs>
Is Adam MIA? If so, can we get someone to either fix the bugs which
can be fixed (such as the packaging bugs) and make a decision as to
whether Netscape 4.72 is too buggy to ship?

IMO, at least one version of Netscape should be included in potato.
Yes, it sucks and is non-free, but it's expected of a "real" distribution.
People have come to accept its suckage, and as such crashing bugs (which
we can't fix) should be downgraded to normal IMO. The least buggy version
of Netscape should be shipped - lesser of >2 evils. Mozilla isn't an option,
yet, not for the average user and not for me (because it chews up
more memory than Netscape. I use it but not often because of the thrashing).
