Nice diagnosis. Solution: in Netscape, go to
"Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Cache" and 1) discard both of the user's
caches, and 2) set reasonable limits.
I conjecture that Netscape does not have a mechanism to discard ancient
cached pages short of the cache approaching its limits. A simple script
based on find run as a cron job should do that. See "Unix Power Tools",
O'Reilly, 1st ed. sec. 24.19 for an example.
