I find that if I: remember to empty the disk cache often, and run a nameserver on my lan, that netscape 4.5 is rock solid. It seems to thrash badly whenever the disk cache starts to get full, or when dns-helper has trouble using my ISP's nameserver (which is often enough to make a caching nameserver a necessity for everything else as well.) It does not crash in either case, it just starts eating as much processor time as it can get its hands on until I kill it. Since I started emptying the cache, I have had no trouble whatsoever.
Hope this helps.
