Happens a lot to a lot of people, me included.
Solutions: quit netscape and use something else(slim pickins out there
right now) or turn off java (lose access to some stuff).
Opera is on the horizon. Not ready for prime time yet, though.
Lynx and a couple of others if you don't need graphical.
Mozilla (bloated with lots of debug stuff for now - as large as/larger than
the NS 6.0 release). Seemed to be stable. Can't vouch for that as I gave up
the NS Communicator stuff due to too much bloat - the Mozilla debug stuff
made it take even longer to load.
Amaya, Mosaic, Python, Skate, Grail and othes - all unfinished works, as
well as unstable and likely to never see anything that resembles completion.
