I saw this on a Sparc 10, Solaris 2.4, Netscape 4.03b-something.

Never happened to me with Netscape 4.03 final. Now, only Netsc(r)ape freezes...
For me, it's quite an improvement, since I do not have a virtual console to
escape (I mean L1-a, for veteran Sun users >-)

It's not fvwm or *wm, it just takes a Xlib call... ;-)
