hi rebecca

for what it's worth, this page also crashes netscape 4.08

it can't be the html, because with style sheets turned off, the page
renders fine in netscape 4.08 and 4.75

(and the html validates too, in spite of the relative url in the doctype,
which you should fix anyhow)

so let's have a look at the stylesheets

you have four of them --

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/NSCAStyle.css" />
<style type="text/css">@import "/media/NSCAStyle4.css";</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print"
href="/media/PrintStyle.css" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "homestyle.css";</style>

as far as i know, netscape 4 will only even look at the first one

and it validates!

however...

line-height: 100%;  would seem to be superfluous, and better removed --
richinstyle.com has more info about netscape 4 bugs involving line-height

what does vertical-align: super; do?  it's probably not the culprit,
though,
because it's on a class that is never called

font-size:inherit; is perhaps problematic -- in opera, for example, you've
got ant tracks for this text

(also, in opera your nav bar looks awful, but perhaps that's something for
later)

anyhow, to answer your question, i have no idea what's causing the crash,
sorry

try aggressively removing stuff from the style sheet
