Anyone tried the Netscape 4.51 Solaris 2.5.1 128-bit binary under stock 1.3.3?

It seems to work fine so far, as long as I only go to hosts in the hosts file!
(i.e., about 2 machines that actually run Web servers, heh)

All other host lookups fail ... I have this in /emul/svr4/etc/nsswitch.conf:

netbsd4me:1:63 % egrep hosts /emul/svr4/etc/nsswitch.conf 
hosts:      dns nis files

I get stuff like this from the "(dns helper) (netscape)" app that Netscape
forks at startup:

[...]
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/usr/lib/nss_dns.so.1"
  2908 netscape RET   open 6
  2908 netscape CALL  fstat(0x6,0xefffae2c)
  2908 netscape RET   fstat 0
[...]
  2908 netscape CALL  stat(0x110ab538,0xefffa458)
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/etc/resolv.conf"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/etc/resolv.conf"
  2908 netscape RET   stat 0
  2908 netscape CALL  getpid
  2908 netscape RET   getpid 2908/0xb5c
  2908 netscape CALL  open(0xe33b18,0x2,0)
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/dev/udp"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/dev/udp"
  2908 netscape RET   open 6
[...]
  2908 netscape CALL  getmsg(0x6,0xefff9ff4,0xefff9f40,0xefff9f4c)
  2908 netscape RET   getmsg 0
  2908 netscape CALL  putmsg(0x6,0xefffa174,0xefffa0d8,0)
  2908 netscape RET   putmsg -1 errno 89 Unknown error: 89
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  2908 netscape CALL  close(0x6)
  2908 netscape RET   close 0

and then

  2908 netscape CALL  open(0xe33b18,0x2,0)
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/dev/udp"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/dev/udp"
  2908 netscape RET   open 6
[...]
  2908 netscape CALL  ioctl(0x6,_IO('S',0xa,0),0xefff9fcc)
  2908 netscape RET   ioctl -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  2908 netscape CALL  close(0x6)
  2908 netscape RET   close 0

This iterates a couple of times over (the failed putmsg() and the failed ioctl)
and then it gives up and moves on to NIS:

  2908 netscape CALL  open(0x1002a684,0,0x1002aaf0)
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/usr/lib/nss_nis.so.1"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/usr/lib/nss_nis.so.1"
  2908 netscape RET   open 6
  2908 netscape CALL  fstat(0x6,0xefffae2c)
  2908 netscape RET   fstat 0
[...]
  2908 netscape CALL  open(0xe33bd8,0x2,0)
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/dev/ticotsord"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4"
  2908 netscape NAMI  "/emul/svr4/dev/ticotsord"
  2908 netscape RET   open 6
[...]
  2908 netscape CALL  ioctl(0x6,_IO('S',0x1,0),0xefffa854)
  2908 netscape RET   ioctl 0
  2908 netscape CALL  putmsg(0x6,0xefffa8bc,0,0)
  2908 netscape NAMI  "tbsd4me.rpc"
  2908 netscape RET   putmsg -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[...]
  2908 netscape CALL  close(0x6)
  2908 netscape RET   close 0

(Note that "tbsd4me.rpc" contains part of - but not all of - the hostname,
 which is "netbsd4me" [no comments on lack of originality, please  :-P].)

and at this point it moves on to nss_files.so and finds things in /etc/hosts.

I have pretty much every library and /etc file from Solaris 2.5.1 that I can
think of - other than /emul/svr4/etc/.name_service_door and obscure things
like /emul/svr4/var/yp/binding/<NIS domainname>/cache_binding - so I have
no idea what the problem is.

One possibility: a couple of the libraries aren't stock 2.5.1; we Y2K-ized
our remaining 2.5.1 systems and in the process, some of the /usr/lib .so's
that are used in SVR4 emulation got updated.  Could that be the problem here?
Or is it something more generic?  (The "Unknown error 89" from putmsg() smells
fishy)  Then again, the nss_nis.so library appears to be unpatched ...

P.S. In case it helps:

P.P.S. At least Netscape doesn't fall right over like Photoshop 3.0:
