[techtalk] Netscape and Java

[Beverly Guillermo]

There are known issues with version 4.51 and 4.61 in the Unix versions of
Netscape.  It's happened with some java code that just wants to hang the
program instead of properly exiting correctly.  I heard the latest
version (4.7) of netscape has fixed it.  Try that or one of the other
available graphical browsers.
