There's a lock file in .netscape.  Try just nuking that and see if it
works.  That spares your bookmarks, your cache, etc.

I can't reproduce this.  I'm running Netscape 4.72 under Red Hat 6.2.

I've been running IE and Netscape on the same machine (same basic
reason) at work for some time, and it's been a while since I've had
problems.  I think perhaps Microsoft went on its best behavior after the
DOJ got after them.
