I've seen that happen too. When I want to clean house I usually do
rm -r ~/.netscape/cache
the next time you start netscape it will find the cache directory
is gone and will recreate it. it does tell you about the missing
directory. works for me.
Also du (at least on 6.2) has a nice option -H or -h which
puts the sizes in "human" readable form. e.g.:
du -sH .netscape/cache
4.4M .netscape/cache
I dunno if the 5.2 version has that option or not. Check man page.
