   Hmm, tried Solaris 8 libraries and Solaris 8 Communicator 4.8 binary.  It
   doesn't seem to be recognised as a svr4 binary :
   
      368 ktrace   EMUL  "netbsd"
      368 ktrace   RET   ktrace 0
      368 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xeffff623,0xeffff528,0xeffff530)
      368 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/pkg/lib/netscape/communicator-4.8/netscape"
      368 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 8 Exec format error

this sounds like you are missing something like ld.so.1 or something.
this is failing because it doesn't recognise it as a solaris binary
i think....


      368 ktrace   CALL  execve(0x1e700,0xefffefe0,0xeffff530)
      368 ktrace   NAMI  "/bin/sh"
   
   This is with 1.6J (Yes, I have got COMPAT_SVR4 in my kernel).  I'll try it
   under 1.6 and see what happens.
