Whoops, spoke too soon. Netscape does a getdents() in the plugins
directory, and when it found more than one (I moved the 4.0beta3 version
of the plugin to "libnullplugin.so-4.0beta3"), it tried to read it and died.
So 3.01 and 4.0beta2 work again, but 4.0beta3 still gives ENOMEM. Off to
the SunOS machine ...
