The crashes caused by cut-and-pastes to netscape (running
under NetBSD 1.0 and XFree86 3.1) are caused by the lack of
the `nls' directory in the X11R6 distribution.  I grabbed a
copy of `.../lib/X11/nls' from somewhere (a Sun or an SGI at
work) and stuffed it into `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls'.  I have
no idea what files in the `nls' directory placate netscape,
but with that and the definition of several environment
variables, netscape works perfectly.
