Twice in the past two days users using Netscape 4.05 have had it grab
the X server and sit there hanging doing nothing. This happened to be
on Sun Ultra 10s both times, but I assume it is likely just a
Netscape-under-Solaris bug. This behavior is initiated by clicking a
link (it doesn't seem to be a particular link, but obviously it
doesn't always happen).
The icon changes to a small green piece of a paper with a quill on it.
At this point, the only reasonable recourse appears to be to reboot
the workstation.
I don't use Netscape 4.05, of course, so I don't have a great
indication of how frequently this problem really ocurrs.
