The problem with Netscape Communicator return 0xFFFFFFFF as error number
is definitely only related to the Linux version of Netscape
Communicator. They announced to have fixed it several versions ago but
they did not.

No, they're not. :-( There were several posting on Netscape forums about
this but it's still not fixed (version 4.7). IMHO they simply set a
timeout too short.
