There may be bugs in netscape, but there are also bugs in the Xserver,
at least in the S3 server, version 3.1.2G. Netscape does manage to put
the server in a dead state, where the keyboard and mouse don't answer.
The only solution is to kill -9 (other signals don't work) the Xserver
from the net.

So netscape isn't the only guilty here.
