Almost certainly some memory leak in Netscape -- get the
latest -- 4.78, as I recall and update. The contractual
inability of NS to provide sources make interperting a 'core'
an unprofitable use of time.
In the future you should also be running a SSH server (and if
within a secure local loop, one might consider a wrappered
telnet-server) -- so that you might ssh/telnet, in and
determine the process ID of all the Netscapes, and kill them
off.
"All your Netscape are ours" so to speak.
Consider another browser -- Konqueror, or Mozilla -- I see you
use kmail. The new RH beta, which I am running _everywhere_
as my X-top is really nice and has not had the NS lockups I
had with RH 7.1's NS. Mozilla is quite usaable, and Konqueror
is fine as well.
