LOL: Netscape hole

[Furmanek, Greg]

Talking about problems with Netscape.

I seem to have a problem using 
the address book.

The program crashes if I want to fill
in address using Address Book
on e-mail.

Has anyone else had this problem?

RH 7.0
AMD 450
Updated Packages.
(It wasn't working before the update.)
