Problems running Netscape on HP-UX 10.20

Hi, Someone had already posted on this, but my problem is a bit different. The solution for the other user was to put /usr/lib in SHLIB_PATH. My problem occurs when I put /usr/lib in SHLIB_PATH. Netscape invokes with no problem when /usr/lib is not defined in SHLIB_PATH. We have an application that needs /usr/lib in SHLIB_PATH, but this causes Netscape to coredump. This is a transcript of what happens...
edlhp124:/ % . /user/edl_utils/profile
edlhp124:/ % echo $SHLIB_PATH
/apps/xilinx/bin/hp:/apps/lm/lib/hp700.lib:/idea/lib:/idea/shared/lib:/apps/als/lib:/apps/als/lib:/apps/eesof_ads/lib/hpux10:/usr/lib/Motif1.2
edlhp124:/ % netscape
edlhp124:/ % export SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/usr/lib
edlhp124:/ % netscape
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: fpsetmask (code) from /net/edlhp250/local_user/vol17/apps/netscape_4.74/netscape
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: fpsetmask (code) from (dns helper)
Abort(coredump)
edlhp124:/ %
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
This is my easy job!

I was having a similar problem with the dld.sl after installing the patch bundle XSWGR1100 for the march 2001 general release patches. I would get:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: nauzaoss (plabel) from /filenet/idmds/lib/libsrs_db6.sl

There was a problem with a linker patch. They broke it. I downloaded a patch that superseded it PHSS_22514, and that resolved my problem. This one has been superseded with PHSS_23440. This patch could solve the problem.

I just realized that you are on 10.2... no help here :( I did read though that there was a problem with this if you ran a version of Netscape before version 4.4
