I have the same non-problem as you, and I don't understand it.  I had
netscape crash on me last night for the first time in recent memory, and I
was quite surprised to see it happen.  From what I can tell I'm not doing
anything different from anybody else.  I've got Java and Javascript
enabled, and I'm running the full Communicator 4.51 package (Navigator 4.6
at work).  I installed 4.51 using the debian installation wrapper (using
the archive from netscapes FTP site), and the 4.6 that's available in .deb
format (from netgod.net, I think...apt makes it too easy to not care 8^).
All this is on a slink system with the upgrades from security,
proposed-updates, and netgod.  But it's been stable for ages.

Oh well, I won't ask questions.  My experiences with netscape have been
fine.  Still, though, I can't wait for Mozilla to mature.  A smaller
browser footprint would be great.
