Today, two more instances of Netscape hanging workstations,
this time not with the bookmark icon, but with regular pointers,
shortly after clicking on something.
I think that this is probably a continuing bad interaction between
Netscape 4.05 and the X server. Unfortunately it's particularly painful
to debug.
If anyone knows how to extract a user-level stack trace from a kernel
core dump I'd sure appreciate knowing (or to run gcore on a kernel crash
dump), that'd be useful info. I asked Sun, but who knows how much pain
it will be to find the answer.
