The bug seems to be common to navigator and communicator 4.5+ (yes, I've seen this on 4.5 too). I used to think for some reason the main process receives the 'close signal' (I'm no a X programmer ;) twice and crashed due to that. >From a different perspective, I'd say Netscape stuff version 4.5 and up still has trouble with glibc 2.1.
