I have been having similar lockups -- no response to any UI events.
It's particularly sensitive to some pattern in slashdot pages. This
one locks it up reliably on all cases I've tried:

http://www.cantrip.org/hang-ns45.html

This is on three different Debian systems, running 2.1.122, 2.1.125,
2.1.129, 2.0.35ac?, and glibc-2.0.7u, on NexGen-110, K6-2/300, and
Pentium/200 CPUs. I don't think it's glibc, because binaries that
appear to be compiled for libc5 fail the same way.

When I SIGSEGV it, the feedback window pops up, but if I just
"destroy" the window, it often will just sit there and spin,
using 100% CPU until I kill it.

Actually on the NexGen, lately, it just crashes during startup,
both 4.0 and 4.5. Oddly, 4.5R1 worked fine everywhere.

Any suggestions?
