I already found and fixed at least part of the problem.

Apparently, the Netscape Navigator 4.61 that is being distributed with
FreeBSD 3.3 is in the older a.out format, and it expects to be able
to use the a.out format libg++.so.4.0 file that's located in the
/usr/lib/compat/aout/ directory.

And it _will_ go ahead and use that *if* you don't happen to have a
little something called LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined in your environment
(as I formerly did).

Once I unset that, Netscap Navigator did start up.

Now however it is displaying another whole different sort of problem.

Now, when it starts up, it tries (apparently) to read some obscure
configuration file somwhere, and whatever file it is reading leaves a
_very_ bad taste in its mouth.  I get a TON of warning messages like
the following:
