Yep.

I don't have that problem, but it goes through a firewall which
(theoretically) auto dials. It seems to work most of the time...

Netscape is a very memory hungry application. I find that it is unstable
in anything less than 64Mb because it can't get all the memory it wants.
I've never had it crash linux, but I can believe that it would on a low
memory machine.
But now we've got the source we can fix it instead of complaining about
