I just had navigator-4.6/bsdi do this on a netbsd-current/386 machine.
What is happening is that Netscape is managing to kill the X server
and you are being nuked back to the xdm prompt (or whatever your
baseline is.)

Turning off all the trojan-delivery engines in netscape (such as
java/javascript) seemed to do the trick for me.

I guess this demonstrates a bug in the X server, where one ill-behaved
program can crash it.  (I noted this on the netbsd-current version of
the Xfree SVGA server.)

Freebsd breaks hardware. ;-)
