netscape crashes often

We have Netscape 4.61/Export running on DU 4.0e (pk #2) and the web
browser keeps crashing. There are some other anomolies with the newsgroup
portion. Usually, but not always the crash occurs when the user
manipulates the vertical scrollbar. It doesn't crash with some sites,
doesn't always crash when accessing the same site. The most reliable
crash I can get is to go to help, pick release-notes, then grab the
vertical slider and move it down then up.

Tech Support suggests we setld -d on all the Open3d subsets and reinstall,
but I hesitate to go through all that since:
a) other X programs do not seem to exhibit this problem
b) Netscape Gold 3.01/export seems to have no trouble
c) a version of netscape run from a telnet session from a non-local
    machine seems to work fine
d) this version has been seen to crash on another machine (also DU 4.0e,
pk #2) that has no open3d installed

Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?
