by I had trouble with Netscape navigator dumping core just
after I upgrades to RedHat Linux 5.0.
After some investigation I disovered that it was a
shared libaray problem. The new versions did not have the
symbol _Xsetlocale defined.
Here's the output of the "ldd -r netscape" command:
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40000000)

I was extremely lucky because I have two systems running
Linux and was able to A/B them to locate the trouble.
I copied all the shared libraries off the old RedHat 4.0.3 system
and put the in /usr/local. Netscape now works.
Here are the files (and the package they belong to) that I
used:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 XFree86-libs-3.3-1
