Working around netscape 4.9 segfault on Solaris 8

We have a Solaris 8 server which users login to via VNC to get a desktop. On that desktop these users use Netscape Communicator 4.9 to access a very important mail account. Unfortunately Netscape has started segfaulting regularly.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can try to find out what point it segfaults at, anything with dtrace? I know it's ancient and unsupported software but I need to keep it going until the migration to IMAP is approved so we can stop using this server as a desktop.

NAME
Graphics::ColorNames::Netscape - Netscape 1.1 Color Names SYNOPSIS
require Graphics::ColorNames::Netscape; $NameTable = Graphics::ColorNames::Netscape->NamesRgbTable(); $RgbBlack = $NameTable->{black}; DESCRIPTION
This module defines color names and their associated RGB values associated with Netscape 1.1 (I cannot determine whether they were once usable in Netscape or were arbitrary names for RGB values-- many of these names are not recognized by later versions of Netscape). This scheme is deprecated, and will be removed from future versions of Graphics::ColorNames but available as a separate module from CPAN. SEE ALSO
Graphics::ColorNames Graphics::ColorNames::Mozilla Graphics::ColorNames::IE Graphics::ColorNames::SVG The color names come from <http://wp.netscape.com/home/bg/colorindex.html>. Corrections to errors in the Netscape spec are due to <http://www.he.net/info/color/>. AUTHOR
Robert Rothenberg <rrwo at cpan.org> Acknowledgements "Magnus", who pointed out inconsistencies. Gary Vollink, who suggested color schemes for later Netscape versions, and pointed out that the original Netscape page had moved. LICENSE
