Are you running libc5 or glibc compiled version of Netscape??
There is no problem to have a stable version of netscape in any
distribution - you just have to use older libc5 version.
And you might try to some special libc5 libraries for improved
stability from these URLs':
http://members.eunet.at/theofilu/netscape.html
http://help.netscape.com/kb/client/990221-4.html
But if you are using glibc version you simply can't have stable
netscape - because glibc version of netscape is linked against
glibc2.0 - as far as I know all the latest distributions are
running glibc2.1 and moving forward to glibc2.2.
THere are even more problems - like e.g. various parts of netscape binary
are created by quite different version of c-compiler and so on.
