I'm seeing the same with linux netscape 4.78 on a August 6th -current.
Netscape starts hanging as soon as I try to load something
complicated, e.g. animated gifs, JAVA applet, etc., and I have to kill
-9 the process.

It seems I can avoid the hang by running netscape -synchronous
instead of just netscape.

I had learned about the -synchronous flag when I ran into trouble with
FreeBSD-netscape / XFree86-4 a while ago: Without the -synchronous
flag I would very soon get loads of error popups saying Xlib:
unexpected async reply or some such.

It seems -synchronous is becoming a magic spell for netscape.

Linux netscape appears to be having problems with

Can you narrow down what commit broke things for you by doing binary searches
on the date and time?
