    Unfortunately, the other plugin
    /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    causes Netscape 7.1 to fail on startup:

       ws> netscape7 &
       INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?

       System error?:: Success

    and Netscape just dies there.

    Upgrading to a newer Linux is not an option.
    I can't believe development at Sun Java / Netscape / Mozilla would get this out
    of kilter.
