Try setting MALLOC_CHECK_=0 in the environment before running Netscape,
like so:
MALLOC_CHECK_=0
export MALLOC_CHECK_
netscape &
This makes "malloc" more forgiving towards memory management glitches
(of which, unfortunately, Netscape has quite a lot).
This solves the problem for 95% of the time, if you also disable Java.
The convenient way of doing this permanently, is with a wrapper script.
Mail me if you need more specific help.
