 | Sorry for the "me too", but I have had similar errors, not just with
 | startup of Netscape, but with some other programs...
 |
 | Although I have had fewer problems since upgrading to 1.3.71...
 | I wonder *and this is pure, unknowledgable speculation*
 | if the time it took for swapping caused the allocation to time out?
 | It seemed like the kswap patches had fixed some of these bugs...

Ever try 'netscape -install'?

Unfortunately , the size of the colormap is limited , and applications like
netscape needs a lot of colors. The easy solution is to close applications
that currently need a lot of colors. A typical mistake is to have a picture
in the root (using xv or such) that is too colorful.
The second solution I can suggest is to run 'netscape -install', which installs
a private clolormap.
