|PS: Netscape works fine in OpenBSD 2.0.

I've ran various x86 Netscape versions as long as they've been available on
my (various) x86 NetBSD boxes, and never gotten that error.  They may have
cored occasionally (or often 8-) but they've pretty much ran.

You don't say:
	(1) which NetBSD arch. you're running
	(2) which Netscape binary you're running (BSDI, LINUX, ...)
	(3) which COMPAT options you don/don't have in you kernel.

...and probably a few other things that could be helpful.  If you post the
three items above, I'm sure someone will be able to better help you.

Thank you, drive through!
