This problem plagues me on BSD/OS and FreeBSD. I think Netscape doesn't notice the X connection is severed, which is a bug clearly in that application. I guess a workaround is to use a CPU time limit when running Netscape so that if it does go into a sprial of death, it will ultimately self-destruct when the CPU time limit is reached. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
