To date, none have > surfaced. I have a breakage. I run Linux Netscape because I need plugins. If you try and download MacroMedia FLASH plugin, their web site determins the OS and says "Aah. You are running FreeBSD. We do not have a plugin for you" Fortuantly, there is a manual option to get the Linux plugin and install it. This can be fixed in our case by patching the "netscape" startup script to use a new uname program which returns Linux.
