hm,
running slink, communicator 4.6 (tarball with debian-installer) -
nothing unusual. perhaps an potato (glibc2.1 problem?)
btw: nothing unsusual means, that netscape is eating memory like a
crocodile - lastly startet with 12mb and ending with 109mb.

 I'm using IceWM, but I don't think that this problem has something to
 do with the window manager.

It doesn't seem to be the window manager affecting it. I was using 
Enlightenment, and I switched to WindowMaker suspecting that E was the problem. 
I discovered that it wasn't, and since you're having the same problems with 
IceWM, it looks to be WM independent.

well, since you are talking about netscapes: my communicator  is getting
wild sometimes too. for some unknown reason it starts eating up all
cpu-time (as top tells me), and no soft way to kill this process will work.
killing with -9  help. This behaviour is present to me since
hamm/communucator 4.5/static (i didn't work before with debian), running
with fvwm (now fvwm2). once i had a simmilar effect (a wild process, that
didn't want to terminate either) with gtimer and without netscape.

i noticed when trying to reach a newsserver with netscapes from behind a
firewall, and the  firewall wasn't configured well, this happened too.
could there be a relation?

 I'm running potato with potato's netscape 4.6 (smotif).
 Often, though not 100% consistently, Netscape will not exit
 properly when I do a File - Exit (Alt-Q) and/or click on the
 X widget to close the window.

When I'm using version 4.51 or 4.6 of Netscape Navigator I've got this
problem, too. Navigator 4.5 seems to work for me (which could be a
coincidence, of course).

The faulty behaviour is most obvious if you've got more than one
Navigator window opened. Instead of closing the selected window only
the whole application crashes sometimes.

I'm using IceWM, but I don't think that this problem has something to
do with the window manager.

I'm really looking forward to a Gtk based version of Mozilla...

 I know this is happening because the next time I go into Netscape, all of
  the mail folders' + signs are collapsed and whatever folder I was in when I
  closed out will have ??? instead of the number of messages.  I've never had
  this behavior on other versions of Netscape, and I have this happening on

 The question I have is, am I alone in this problem?  Anyone see this

 I am using Communicator (the full install) 4.6 on Potato and thus far, I have
 no problems with it.
