I do not think that the problem is related to your upgrade. I had the 
same problem this morning with a system that has not changed 
recently. (I am still using NetScape 2.0) 

There is, most probably, a problem with the Chime code... I suspect it 
has something to do with the automatic expiration code they have added to 
the betas.

Any way, I have reported the problem to MDL However, it can't hurt for 
you to also report the problem also. Their address is:

P.S. If you have the time, and when Chime is working again, check out my
