I find Netscape for unix to be extremely buggy in general ... It crashed
very strangely the other day - I was loading a simply jpg image from a web
page which happened to be rather large (~500kB).  Then X started really
freaking out, changing my resolution,  and my screen started goofing up as
if someone were adjusting the monitor geometry by hand (but very fast).  It
was the weirdest thing I've ever seen a PC do.  Then Netscape crashed, and
although X seemed OK, I killed the x server anyway and noticed netscape was
still running at the prompt (??) and had to kill it.
