THANK YOU verrrry much for that fix.   I will try it out.   Also...
I'm running SQUID as a proxy server on RH6.0 and found, at
least so far, that with two things (sorry, did not test one at a time)
I added "news"  as an alias to my host name, and selected 
"manual proxy" for the squid    [my.ip.addr.ess] [3128]   as the setup
in netscape proxy settings, minux a few proxy exclusions also,
that Netscape Communicator does not experience the startup lockup
issues........... well, so far...................  ;-)   fingers crossed.....


PS: My me calling on RedHat was simply for "higher up help"
not to imply it was RH issue.  But HAL came through :) (read
my lips)
