I'm using Netscape 4.76 straight from Netscape without any problems over
here.

Now, you've basically disabled all keep alives and HTTP 1.1 for all browsers
except Netscape on the PC and Unix and probably have something like this:

BrowserMatch "MSIE" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0
force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4\..*PPC)$" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0
force-response-1.0

At this point, you may as well disable keep alives for everyone and simplify
the setup with something like this:

SetEnv nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "MSIE" ssl-unclean-shutdown

But if your site has many small images with clients on slow links, I think
you'll find yourself looking for ways to turn keep alive back on to speed
things up.
