AND I COULDN'T KILL THE FRAGGIN THING!!! ARGH!!!!!! Could you telnet in from another machine and look at the processes, or even ping the box from another? I'm NOT convinced that lockup is something that can be blamed on Netscape ... If nothing else, for several months I had netscape 2 in my .xinitrc, and it was ALWAYS running on my machine, and the only times it had problems was when I did stupid things with the CDROM drive. I'm not saying Netscape is the best piece of s/w in the world, but this problem bears some investigation (esp. the lockup).
