I've tried multiple versions of netscape's browser from 3.0 for bsd/os 
to 4.06 for freebsd and they all have the same annoying habit - 


netscape:
X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  60 (X_FreeGC)
  Serial number of failed request:  44851
  Current serial number in output stream:  44853
  Widget hierarchy of resource: unknown


and then it freezes.  top says netscape is still in select, but it
wont respond to ctrl-{c,z} and must be specifically sent a kill
signal.  This problem manifests itself most frequently when using
scrollbars.


psm0 at 0x60-0x64 irq 12 on motherboard
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3


is what dmesg shows.  Ive tried multiple mice in both serial and ps/2
mode and this problem is easily reproducable either way.  I run
3.0CAM-19980712-SNAP on an asus p2b-ls logic board with a microsoft
intellimouse pro and ibm kb-8923 keyboard.  Everything else works
fine, otherwise.  I've rebuilt X from source and remade world but
neither solved the problem.  Any tips/suggestions?
