Alright folks...  After getting a working trace of the way netscape was
running, I've figured out that they are sending an illegal request to our
Xserver.  This causes netscapes forked Java process to exit aburptly.  Why
this only happens to some of us is still a mystery, but the solution is
simple:

Type "xset bc" before you start netscape.


Enjoy!
