I'm seeing the same with linux netscape 4.78 on a August 6th -current.
Netscape starts hanging as soon as I try to load something
complicated, e.g. animated gifs, JAVA applet, etc., and I have to kill
-9 the process.
It seems I can avoid the hang by running "netscape -synchronous"
instead of just "netscape".
I had learned about the -synchronous flag when I ran into trouble with
FreeBSD-netscape / XFree86-4 a while ago: Without the -synchronous
flag I would very soon get loads of error popups saying "Xlib:
unexpected async reply" or some such.
It seems "-synchronous" is becoming a magic spell for netscape.
