The reason that netscape and a few other applications crash is because
their malloc statments are buggy. It is not a bug in libc5.4.7, but in
netscape. However, since this is a problem we are including the old malloc
in the libc package, and people who are going to run netscape will have a

libc5_5.4.7-7 will be in the archive soon, and it includes the older
malloc as a seperate library
My installation is up-to-date with unstable.
