 > 1. has anyone else read/heard this?


Yes.  Thats why Netscape 4.75 came out.  


At 65% of the downlaod from Netscape the download of 4.75 froze.  It cound not 
be resumed at further attempts.


Downloading 4.75 from mirror sites, I got either error in FTP path, file does 
not exsist.  Or.  If it did download, I got it unarched to 93%, then got a 
insuficent space in Temp path (6 plug gigs space is avalable on a 8.4 gig 
drive).  So I downloaded it a 3rd time from a different site, and had the same 
insufficent space in the temp path unarching it on the 8.4 gig drive, with the 
6 plus gigs space at 93%.   Go figure!


 > 2. can anyone confirm/deny this WRT the OS/2 platform?
the flaws in allowing unscripulious sites to execute Java remotley when you 
visit their sites.  Netscape produced 4.75 to fix this.



 > 3. is it related solely to the use of java with netscape?


I don't know.
