I've had Netscape crash on me while JavaScript was enabled, but otherwise it's been just fine *until* yesterday, when it crashed (occasionally and unreproducibly, using version 4.5) several times while loading pages from http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/ with Java & JavaScript disabled, so presumably bad HTML can still break it from time to time.
