>Description:
pid 1531 (netscape.bin), uid: 1000, exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Netscape navigator 3.04 dumps core under afterstep-1.0. It does NOT
seem specific to only 2.2.7 ports/packages, it can affect all programs.

It can affect the video display in X11 and lockup everything -
switching from console back to X11 may render machine with
vertical lines only, completely in yellowish, blueish colors.

If this happens you must hit the power button or reset if you
have a reset button. 'ctrl, alt, del' seem disabled.
>How-To-Repeat:
If you use Netscape 3.04, in afterstep-1.0 from either /ports or Packages
the core dump can happen when you have 3 or 4 windows in Netscape loading a
site with frames..

        * AfterStepClassic 1.1 beta 1
        - Fixed: large server-side pixmap leak when textured title bars
          are closed.
        - Fixed: small server-side pixmap leak on deiconification.
        - Application-supplied icon windows (i.e. animated icons) now work.
        - The Maximize command can now avoid a Wharf that lives on the
          left edge of the screen.  However, you have to modify your
          .steprc file to enable this.
        - Wharf now unswallows any swallowed windows just before quitting.
          This keeps X from complaining when you terminate Afterstep.
        - The new Afterstep command EXIT_FIRST, which is available only to
          modules, allows Wharf to avoid a race condition on swallowed
          windows.  See "module-interface.txt" for the (slightly) revised
          module protocol.
        - Wharf: on exit no longer dumps 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF to stdout if
          sound is not enabled.
