It is a clean install, and there are two problems:
a) Some specific sites, such as "my excite home page" will crash quite
predictably, but at least it's fixed in the Mozilla alpha so I can
visiit them with that, and it's messages make it clear that it has
corrupt Java anyway.

BINGO!!!
Yes, it's been crashing all the time when I close just one window, and
I actualy run it through a script from [EMAIL PROTECTED], which does, in
fact, bypass the netscape script. This script was actually *fixing* a
problem I was having back when I started using it, but I'll bet it's
*causing* my problem now.
I cannot thank you enough.
This is actually the whole reason I was trying an upgrade in the first
place (the Netscape instability), and if it's really fixed, you just
sold me on Mandrake.
