I have the same problem (run once, than have it spinning in a loop
consuming lots of CPU with no graphic output).

solution (kludgy, but works):
#!/bin/sh
export XCMSDB; XCMSDB=/dev/null
exec /usr/local/communicator/netscape $@

I got this info forwarded to somebody inside Netscape so hopefully
they would fix it some day.
