Re: [K12OSN] segmentation fault

Sounds like a bug in Netscape surfacing up when it calls certain 
libraries (which ones, I don't know--I'm not that good!).  I'm thinking 
this because you say that Mozilla does just fine.  I know that this 
kinda goes against the point that Netscape is indeed supposed to be 
working, but is there a reason that you have to run specifically 
Netscape instead of Mozilla?  One workaround would, of course, be to 
just move to Moz 1.5.

If your situation does require Netscape specifically, then I'd do this:

Download the latest version of Netscape.  Rename the existing Netscape 
directory (/usr/local/netscape, in your case) to, say, 
/usr/local/netscape-orig.  Then, install the newly downloaded Netscape 
into /usr/local/netscape.  Since we're not changing the targets to where 
everything points, all should be smooth as ice.  This is how I upgrade 
Mozilla, and so far, it's worked every time, and has left me a 
"roll-back" instance to use, just in case.  It's also, BTW, how I 
upgrade OpenSSH (I compile from source), and this strategy works very 
nicely there as well.

Give 'er a shot and let us know how it goes.
