	YMMV, indeed.  For some Netscape using glibc2 is problematic, and using
libc5 fixes most of the problems they have.  For some, neither version
helps, and for others Netscape on glibc2 works fine for them.  Take a
look at the "trashing Netscape" thread, which is repeated every 3-4
months or so.

P.S.  For me Communicator 4.7 on glibc2 works fine, but I'm sure I don't
use it as heavily as others.
