We have a fairly simple Java applet that works ok on other OS's and on
FreeBSD Netscape *except* it crashes Netscape (both Navigator and
Communicator) 100% of the time on FreeBSD if we run with Depth 24 in
/etc/XF86Config. The coredump happens with the Linux binary as
well. It is the only X11 app we know of that does this.
