I've waited before posting because I wanted to make sure that the problem was solved. TO recap, the affected system was running 6.4 and Netscrape 4.72 (and later) 4.73. Both were dying randomly without any error that I could detect under fvwm2. I posted a message here, and Lenz reminded me (by asking if I'd also installed the new xshared updates. I had not, and since doing so I've had zero problems. I have to feel ashamed, and will henceforth exhaust all efforts to locate updates before posting. Lenz: Hope you had a nice party at Linuxworld. All: Have a nice week.
