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.

It is welcome to recommend some treatments. Thanks

NSEQ(1SSL) OpenSSL NSEQ(1SSL)
NAME
nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence
SYNOPSIS
openssl nseq [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq]
DESCRIPTION
The nseq command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a file of
certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence.
COMMAND OPTIONS
-in filename
This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this option is not specified.
-out filename
specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
-toseq
normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option the
situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from a file of certificates.
EXAMPLES
Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
Create a Netscape certificate sequence
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
NOTES
The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7 format
when several certificates are sent to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment. It is used by Netscape certificate server
for example.
BUGS
This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input and output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
