Edward,
I'm running two instances of setiathome on a 2*550PIII system with
kernel 2.2.12-20smp. I also extensively use NetScape and I've had no
problems like what you describe.
Are you sure you run the latest version of NetScape? I'm running 4.7-1,
which can be found at the RedHat site.
Regards
Gustav
