         For those of who just can't live without live java sports
updates on 
         Espnet, BUT don't want to risk breaking numberous other
binaries (for
         example, sendmail) by downgrading to 5.2.18, here's what I did.

         It's not exactly pretty, but until Netscape releases a version
built
         with 5.3.12, there's not much you can do about it.

         Make a shell script called netscape and install it in some bin
directory.
         Put your old libc-5.2.18.so in some temporary lib directory (I
put it
         in ~/lib) and simply use the shell script to load netscape. By
setting
         the  LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you force netscape to use the older
version of 
         libc, but the rest of the libraries come from your normal lib
directories
         (setup via ldconfig).

         #!/bin/csh

         setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ~/lib
         /usr/local/bin/netscape $*
----------------------------------------------------

Another solution is to download libc with
gnu malloc.
