It won't even start in 1.4_ALPHA as of yesterday. It looks for
/tmp/.X11-pipe/X0, so I symlinked .X11-pipe to .X11-unix, where
NetBSD keeps its Unix domain socket for the X server. This seems
to be the relevant bit:

    557 netscape CALL  open(0xefffd720,0x2,0x10fdcfa8)
    557 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/tmp/.X11-pipe/X0"
    557 netscape NAMI  "/tmp/.X11-pipe/X0"
    557 netscape RET   open -1 errno 122 Operation not supported

Any thoughts? This seems to me a fairly critical thing to fix before
1.4, since the SunOS Netscape 4.51 is pretty unreliable these days.
For example, it just exits if I try to download (rather than display)
any sort of file.
