Well, I've just looked at www.navy.mil (On Netscape 4.5, Windows 95 -
sorry!) and I can report the following:
it didn't crash
However, it's got a lot of javascript which does seem to be optimised
for NS > 3.x rather than IE. (I don't think this is your problem)
The one unusual thing is its's got a sound (.wav) file embedded in it
at the end. It's a really tacky ship's bell sound.
I don't know anything about your system (eg sound card etc) and how
4.08 treats embedded sound but this looks like a smoking gun to me.
Can you hear the sound? Can you usually play .wav files on your
machine?
Perhaps others can expand on how this might crash Netscape....?
