(replying to myself to preempt the many emails Im going to get once that
makes it through Aleph1's moderation queue)

Of course, about 10 mins after I posted that, I remember why we were
running the later libproxy - there's a buffer overflow in 4.5.1 pre SP11
libproxy.so.

Bah. Take your pick I guess. Intelligent use of Netscape's obj.conf
mappings to minimize what files hostile parties can see the source of
seems the best plan.
