No, no, no. Netscape can be just as horribly unstable on glibc 2.0
systems. I know. I suffer from it every day.

Not as far as I can tell. (Well, I'm not sure I've seen DNS lookup
lockups, but I've seen plenty of lockup

i have no complaints about netscape either. Sure it can crash..lockup.
But it has never..once.. brought down the system. never brought down X

I dunno. Ever since I started using Netscape 4.0x and everything later it
