Okay, I have upgraded to ix86 NetBSD 1.4.1, and I am still getting the
same segmentation violation error when I try to run the Linux port of
Netscape Communicator version 4.7.

So I replaced the files in /emul/linux with those in linux_SuSE-5.3.tgz,
which I downloaded from the 1.4 packages directory on the NetBSD ftp
site.  Unfortunately when I run Communicator with these libraries I get:

netscape: Symbol `_IO_stdout_' has different size in shared object,
	consider re-linking
netscape: Symbol `_IO_stderr_' has different size in shared object,
	consider re-linking
netscape: Symbol `_IO_stdin_' has different size in shared object,
	consider re-linking
Floating exception

SuSE is currently at version 6.2.  Which version are you running?
Are there any newer versions of Linux library files I can download
that will properly run the Linux port of Netscape Communicator
version 4.7?

Thanks in advance.  Sincerely, Alicia.
