How long did you wait for it?  With my 486 and 8mg of ram Netscrape
*regularly* (like, every ten pages or so) freezes the entire computer
for several minutes while it does garbage collection ... it's bad
enough to have reduced me to using Lynx 90% of the time.

Could it be that?  Try getting a cup of tea then coming back to check
:)
