I have not the AppletClassLoader problem, but I get bus errors when I try to

  * execute Java-Applets
  * edit the source
  * start netscape with no .netscape directory present

I fiddled with the fonts.dir and fonts.alias but this has no effect. The
bus errors still occure (3.0b4, 3.0b5, 3.0b5a) and I have to stay with
3.0b3 (expires on July 31 :-( ).
