The program blows-up with: ] ] netscape: locale `C' not supported. ] Perhaps the $XNLSPATH environment variable is not set correctly? ] Bad system call(coredump) The XNLSPATH wants to be: /usr/X11R5/lib/X11/nls If you have R6, you will want to copy the X11R5 nls directory, since the locale files have changed with XFree86() 3.1. The bad system call is, I think, sysinfo(). Upgrading to FreeBSD 2.0 or NetBSD 1.0 will fix it, as will hacking the call into the kernel and returning the expected info. If I have to describe what's involved in doing that, you are better off upgrading.
