The packaged version in potato works for me running on Linux 2.2.1 SMP
kernel with reacent sparc patches from kernel.org (on a SparcServer
670 MP with one CPU, and on a SparcServer 630 MP with 4 CPUs).

Note that the debian wraper uses a preload library when running netscape:
  LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 $netscape "$@"

Hope this helps..
