I retrieved the BSD(?) version of Communicator 4.0 
preview release 5, and it installed OK and runs mostly.
But it does die frequently.  It also complains about
lack of a *netscape* "valid encryption policy", so, 
in perusing the netscape pages for information on how 
to set one, I keep crashing.  For example, I found that
attempting to load the pages

  http://home.netscape.com/assist/security/resources/notes.html
  http://home.netscape.com/assist/security/smime/datasheet.html

crashes it reliably.  Unfortunately, all the symbols 
have been stripped, so that I can't tell much about
the cause.  It tends to die at the same place, "0x6f8d71 in ?? ()"
