Description of problem:
this seems to have cropped up when upgrading glibc.  i know that your stock 
response is "rebuild the binary...".  i assume that i do not have to rebuild 
netscape?  netscape still runs, but it's not very comforting because other 
things could be broken as well?

It's a bug in how netscape was built. We can't fix it, only Netscape can.
Comment 2 rick rauenzahn 2003-10-28 22:18:41 UTC 
well then don't put out faulty rpms.  what arrogance you people have.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-28 22:23:29 UTC 
netscape has not been shipped since Red Hat Linux 7.3. Note that we don't and
can't build netscape; we can only ship the binaries as Netscape built them.
