I gave up with the complete communicator/navigator deb packages and
went back on using an original netscape tarball together with the
wrapper package (i.e. netscape4_4.0-15.deb for now). It works, however
*not* together with the 'plugger' (Netscape Mime Plug-in) deb package,
which causes a bus error.

I never got an answer to the 'Cannot perform malloc' problem neither
on the list nor to my official bug report -- seems too hard a nut even 
for the proffs (or too uninteresting?)
