This happens under AIX on PowerPC machines pretty often too. Netscape
can bring down the Xserver, although I don't know why. It seems to
happen more often w/ fvwm (but has happened under mwm as well, I
believe), but I think that's because the Netscape window gets mapped
and unmapped more often due to switching pages and desktops. My
officemate sees this problem a lot. He thinks it's something with the
scrollbars.
