I've had problems with Netscape/Java pages completely crashing my Xterminal
(the whole ***PANIC*** fatal error scenario :-) ). I was under the
impression this was just an Xterminal problem but it has only happened under
FVWM (2.0.39 at the moment). Mind you when I wasn't using FVWM, Netscape
2.01 wasn't around so there wasn't any Java around to crash my terminal ;-)

This is a rare problem but still a problem. (Solaris 2.5 if you were wondering)
