Speaking of Netscape and other a.out binaries on 1.5 ...
Pretty much all of my old (sometimes really old) a.out binaries in
"/usr/local/bin" (pre-pkg era stuff) dies rather violently on my Ultra 5+.
netbsd4me# ./netscape-3.04
./netscape-3.04: Cannot allocate memory.
netbsd4me# ./netscape-4.5.1.solaris
./netscape-4.5.1.solaris: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.
netbsd4me# ./netscape-4.6.1.sunos
./netscape-4.6.1.sunos: Cannot allocate memory.
netbsd4me# ./nscal
./nscal: Cannot allocate memory.
netbsd4me# ./ntptrace
Abort trap
netbsd4me# ./zipinfo
Abort trap
netbsd4me# ./netscape-4.5.1.solaris

Bus error (core dumped)
This is pretty much what I get from everything in there, in one form or
another.
Any ideas? I have /emul/svr4 and /emul/sunos fully populated ...
