netscape weirdness and bus errors



I'm using /unstable, and a couple of upgrades ago some really, /really/
annoying netscape stuff started happening with 4.51.

The first thing is when I have multiple netscape windows open, and close one,
sometimes netscape will all go, and the entire thing has crashed with the
following message:

/usr/bin/X11/netscape: line 93: 6907[1]   Bus Error   $netscape "$@"

[1] this is not always the same #, probably the PID or something.

The second case where this happens is when I press enter after putting a
username/password into a dialogue box.

The netscape* packages I have installed are the following (sorry for the
extra stuff, but I figured it's better to be complete....):
