Yip. I have the exact same problem. 4.03b8 and 4.04 both hang
quite often on exit. Just sits there eating my CPU ignoring the
SIGALRM... I've aliased 'kn' to 'killall -9 netscape' to reduce
typing. :-) 

I mailed them about the problem, but haven't gotten a response.
It was disapointed to see the same behaviour in 4.04...
I may try the Linux version, especially since it has 128-bit
encryption.
