I'm having a similar problem with the BSDi version of Netscape 3.01.
And yes, I followed the README file, copied the nls directory and
XKeySymDB file tot he right spot, even set environment variables
pointing to them, and I still get warnings about imminent crashes and
bad keysyms.  Anyone know what's going on?  Thanks
