The "incompatibilities" are not Linux specific, but _are_ Netscape
specific.  If you don't close all the table tags in HTML, Netscape won't
render the page properly..  I know the story is in the source, but I
don't want to dig through their HTML code to read it.

http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/
has all the latest bug fixes, so if you run RH, be sure and check it now
and then.  They also have a mailing list that is low traffic that will
email you when they put out another update.  linux-security at redhat.com
