Fix the bugs and submit patches to Netscape.

Just in case someone didn't get it, I'm just trying to be ironical
here. That's what one get when using non-free software.

 Is anyone out there running netscape communicator 4.0b5 and
 having a good time???

Hopefully the release will be available soon. I use communicator
on Linux, which seems quite stable. But it doesn't take long to
crash Win95 Netscape 4.0/4.01; what hope do we Linux people have
when Linux netscape isn't even official supported?

Nope.
Maybe sticking to 3.01 for a while would be a good solution :-)

Make sure you are using a libc that communicator likes. There are
notes on this that come with it. It does not like 5.4.20. I am 
using 5.4.26 and have not had trouble with crashes. The kids have
still have an occasional crash while using communicator.

I run netscape 3.01 for days at a time without problems.  (Hint: never
hit get new mail while send everything in Outbox).

Good News GUI browser users 

I run the daily builds that are available internally here at Netscape. 
Believe me.  It is getting better all the time.  When I started running
the daily builds they used to crash and burn horribly.  But the last
week or so the builds have been great.  The builds have not reached
Win32 quality (and I use this term very loosely).  But I do expect
Mozilla 4.01 to become quite stable by the time it is released.
