There are two kinds of bounce in the dock: slow and excited. the slow 
bouncing goes on while an application is starting. if the dock is 
hidden, the icon will not show, iirc.

If it continues for a long time, and the application doens't show in the 
finder, then something's messed up in the startup sequence. Calssic 
applications that are started when Classic is turned off will bounce 
while classic starts up.

the excited bouncing is when an application in the background wants your 
attention. This is clearly a differenct behavior and the icon will 
appear out of a hidden dock.


In your case I expect Netscape is never quite starting, because classic 
may be hung up?

Try installing a newer version of Netscape, one that runs in OSX 
(Netscape 7 runs a LOT better in OS X than it does in Classic)
