Oh, yes, it's quite reproducable. Type `netscape_dns'; get core. :-)
It doesn't appear to get very far. The entire ktrace log is at the end
of this message.

If I'm reading it correctly, it's failing on geteuid, which seems
just a wee bit odd. Surely that system call isn't missing! From
the looks of it, getuid works all right and is returning the correct
value.

I've tried gdb on it, but there's not much to be gotten out of it, since
the symbol table appears to be stripped.

This was SunOS Netscape 2.02, btw. I'll grab version three when
I've got a spare hour or two on the modem and see what that does.
