Netscape freezes on Kernel 2.2.x?




I have a reproducable problem with netscape 4.0x and 4.5 freezing on RHL
5.2 machines that were updated to linux 2.2.1. specifically the process
becomes a zombie, killable only by -9, if you attempt to open a mail
composition window (alt-m) as non-root (netscape running as root DOES
work!). did anyone have that? solved that? is a small library downgrade
enough and not damaging, or will I have to downgrade back to 2.0.x with
the older modutils RPM? (notice once modutils-2.1.121 has been
installed, older kernels don't work with modprobe anymore)

TIA, Ira
