For netscape3 (I see you're running netscape4) there is a "bus error" fix
at http://members.ping.at/theofilu/netscape.html. You may also check
out the netscape debian packages in hamm/contrib/binary-i386/web.
I have had trouble getting either netscape3 or netscape4 to work under
with a clean hamm install. Apparently, neither version can find the
X libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib nor /usr/lib/libc5-compat directories.
My short term solution was to upload the older xlib6-3.3.1-2 libraries
(as opposed to xlib6-3.3.2) to /usr/local/lib/tmp-fix,
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/tmp-fix, then run netscape.
