Yeah, that's what I thought.  LANG not set to start with.  After 
setting as above, I get

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

for either language selection.  But still 6.2 does not mind and starts 
anyway, 7 is still stuck.  7 is stuck where the "profile manager" is 
supposed to kick in and write a ~/.mozilla directory in my home 
directory

Earlier lib issue was bogus.  Same lib error message in 6.2 if I start 
it with netscape-bin.  So that's a non-starter.  Should always start 
with simply the shell script ./netscape.
