[solution] stable communicator with glibc2.1

[Adam Shand <larry@alaska.net>]

for what it's worth after having massive problems with netscape being stable
after my upgrade to communicator 4.6 i downloaded the old debian 451
packages from a slow to update debian mirror and it's working perfectly.

here's my setup, i hope it helps someone:
