Looks like it's trying to look up some inexistent address.  Let it  hang for a 
while, and it should come back with "url not found in DNS" or something like 
that.  Then, modify preferences to load some sensible home page.  btw, 
communicator 4.01b6 works flawlessly here (no crashes yet!)

I've been using dselect's ftp method for a while.  could you explain what is 
your problem?
