   I saw this problem.  On my system /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ had been
removed during the X11-package reorganization.  Reinstalling xlib6g -7
restored locale/ and netscape3 began working again.  One of the inst or rm
scripts in some version (-6 I think) was renaming locale/ and not replacing
it.  -7 didn't completely recover from the damage in -6, but may install on
a non-X or hamm system without problem.  If someone installs fresh or
upgrades from hamm this should be checked off and the bug downgraded. 
People running unstable/ want problems like this, right?
