Hi Branden!
I posted a patch for xfree86-1 to debian-devel and debian-x some time
ago and got a lot of positive feedback. The patch seems to prevent Netscape
crashes on a lot of systems and does not cause any harm to other X
applications. Please include this patch in your source package to compile
parts of libXt.so with gcc272 on i386 (and a build dependency on gcc272).

* removed patches:
- the "egcs/Netscape" bug workaround; according to Debian Netscape

In any event, this issue is no longer relvant.
Closing.
