Try writing a little script:
LD_PRELOAD=/blah/libc.so.5 netscape "S@"

and use it to start netrape.  Make sure /blah/libc.so.5
is a symlink to libc.so.5.0.9.  See if it helps.  You can preload
libgnumalloc.so.5 instead of libc.5.0.9 -- see if you have it
(in /usr/lib normally).

An interesting sig that I saw recently:
 "By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer meet
the
  definition of a telephone fax machine.  By Sec.227(b)(1)(C), it is
unlawful
  to send any unsolicited advertisement to such equipment. By
Sec.227(b)(3)(C),
  a violation of the aforementioned Section is punishable by action to
recover
  actual monetary loss, or $500, whichever is greater, for each
violation."
