This is to report two occurrences of Linux being killed (frozen, perhaps) by netscape. (That is, after the command "netscape foo" there is no netscape window but just silence.)
Phenomena: keyboard dead, mouse dead, modem dead, no reaction to ping, no disk noises. In short, dead.
Circumstances: Yesterday (or perhaps the day before): 1.3.95, lots of activity.
Today: 1.3.96, very quiet machine, no net activity, netscape invoked for localhost, hardly any other processes. Just before xmosaic had been invoked. [My daughter polishing her home page.]
There is no log. I cannot reproduce this at will.

PS - After writing `I cannot reproduce this at will' I tried somewhat more to mimic my daughter's situation, and froze 1.3.96 again. Still, ten further attempts didn't do this again. So: three occurrences, but not reproducible.
