I use the 32-bit version of Netscape Gold 3.0 and have never experienced a
Netscape crash under Win95.  Win95 by itself, however, crashes occassionally
from lack of activity.  I'll leave Win95 alone while I go eat, and it will
sometimes have completely locked up.  It's a nice environment for DJGPP
programming, though, since a crashed program can simply be killed without
crashing the system (with rare exceptions *pun intended).
