Hi.

-The system locked, without a refresh of the Windows... I had to logout.
-..Afterwards, when I logged in again in the same Workstation, the Xterm
-Window didn't appear (I had to enter another workstation).

The second part of this (logging in and not getting an xterm window) has
been fixed and is in a patch release going out this week.

The system lockup is suspected to be a problem with AFS on the Sparc/4
systems.  We are trying to diagnose it.

I appreciate your suggestion that we should increase the memory
allocation for Netscape.  However, UNIX memory allocation is not based
on static allocations, so I doubt that this is the problem.

Thank you for reporting this
