When I had RH 6.0 & Netscape 4.6/7 installed I didn't have these
particular problems either. I did have problems with Java crashing
Netscape (which did not happen with RH 5.x & any version of Netscape up
to 4.6).

Disabling Java doesn't seem to help the address book problem, but it may
stop Netscape crashing so often.

Now when Netscape crashes it frequently locks-up the entire X-Windows
session, whereas before I was usually able just to "destroy" its window,
remove the lock-file & start again. I started using Linux to escape
crashing UI's, & this is not very encouraging.

Rumour has it that Opera for Linux will be available in beta before the
years end :-)
