The Solaris 8 (2.8) binary of Navigator 4.8 works for me, but with one
problem: it fails to resolve hostnames for sites that have more than one A
record.  ( www.netscape.com is a good example.) I see the same problem with
the communicator binary.

I am using:

 Solaris 8 binaries
 NetBSD 1.5.4_Alpha 
 Sun SPARC5/170 MHz 

....setup as per COMPAT_SVR4(8) .

Does anyone else see this behavior?  Is anyone using the Solaris Navigator
or Communicator with *no* problems?  If so, what version of the Solaris
libs are you using?
