I'd try the mandrake rpm rather than netscape's. I don't know why they
should be different, but I can't remember any problems since I upgraded
from 4.51 to 4.61. (I do shutdown my computer at night, so netscape isn't
open that long). Also, try moving ~/.netscape somewhere and see what
happens -- sometimes a config file is causing that problem.

Good Luck,

Ben

[What the world should have learned from] those tragic circumstances [of the 
Holocaust] is that bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problems; the 
most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic 
problem is silence.
