it is certainly a troublesome thing, apparently java related. if, when
it locks, you hit alt-ctrl-esc, you'll get the skull & crossbones mouse
pointer which, if clicked on the netscape window, will kill it --
partially. if you run top, you'll find a hunk of it still running,
which you can nuke with kill -9 followed by the pid number at the
commandline. it is safe then to nuke the lock file in /.netscape. you
can do it before, and even restart netscape, but you'll end up with a
second batch of netscape artifacts sucking up your memory. this with
4.0x and 4.5.
