Sorry I didn't clarify this earlier, but this does NOT solve the
problem for me. (I was the one who started this thread BTW.)
I may have been guilty of 'rm -r' on my .netscape/cache at some stage,
but I've tried things like removing all of ~/.netscape, using
a different cache directory, using a clean new users account, etc.
Still no use of disk cache (though memory cache works fine, can be
cleared ok, etc.)
Serves me right for using non-free software I guess; if I had some
source I could at least have fun _trying_ to find something out...
