I hate to rain on your parade, but LOTS of people run Netscape 4.5 and
4.6 with libc 2.0 systems without difficulty. In my last job I had 20+
users doing so, and many of them were HEAVY users of Netscape.
You should probably look at the bigger picture instead of just trashing
netscape all the time.
6:45pm up 33 days, 2:18, 4 users, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00
This, for example, is a pretty straightforward slink system and it's
been up since the last time I had to boot into Windoze for some sorry
reason, and I'd guess Netscape has been running 90% of that time, and
has only been shut down and restarted perhaps 4 times. I do that from
time to time because I only have 32MB on this box and if Netscape
renders much Java I end up swapping like crazy.

Obviously, YMMV, but I think it's something other than Netscape giving
you fits, even though the symptoms are Netscape crashes.
Luck,
