Can you tell me more about your problem?

What port?

What NetBSD version?

What version of X?

Does this problem ever occur in any other window managers?

How does your mouse act when this happens? (Does it get forced to where it
can't be moved outside of a window?)

You say "until the WM is restarted" -- is this restarted manually by you
or is this automatic?

I am curious: does your load average shoot up?

(I also have strange X crashing behaviour since last February with
numerous versions of blackbox.)
