[OLUG] fsckin' netscape must die

[Eric Penne]

I use netscap all the time too with yahoo mail which
uses a lot of java things and it crashes 1-2 times a
week.  It just locks up and top says that netscape
--library is using 100% of the CPU and it won't close
without a kill -9.  Sometimes it willdo this and come
out of it 30 seconds later sometimes it won't come out
after 10 minutes.  Don't know, I'm just glad I'm not
in Windows.
