Run the "env" command to list your shell variables. Or run "env | grep 
LANG". Then do an "export LANG=en_US" (all without quotes) and try 
running "/usr/local/netscape/netscape &" again. (make sure no old 
processes are running first)

When mine is running I see the process list as:
[andy at charliebrown andy]$ ps ax | grep netscape
  5659 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/netscape/run-mozilla.sh 
/usr/local/netscape/netscape-bin
  5664 ?        S      6:24 /usr/local/netscape/netscape-bin
  5666 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/netscape/netscape-bin

This really sounds like the LANG=en_US.iso885915 issue.
