A few weeks ago, when it was announced that the Princeton folks had
discovered a nasty security hole in Sun's Java bytecode verifier, Netscape
promised an updated version of their 2.0 Navigator would be available
shortly.  As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any new version
available at Netscape's FTP sites.

Can anyone tell us when this new version is likely to become available?
