MALLOC_CHECK_ is only meaningful on 5.4.20-1 and higher.

btw, for me, Netscape reliably crashes running Java apps under 16 bpp,
but it works ok under 8 bpp.  Could that be the problem?

It's better to use just MALLOC_CHECK_ and nothing else.  The new
malloc in 5.4 is better for other things, and Netscape is a hog.
Loading more than one version of libc5 is also a waste.
