  Late last week after upgrading my P90 box to 2.2.6 I began running
  into problems with netscape, chimera, and mosaic.  --But not, strangely,
  the w3 browser in XEmacs.

  When trying to read certain web pages the entire window manager 
  would crash and after several moments I'd be looking at a new xdm
  login screen.  

  This invariably happened when I tried to read my HTML-3.2 pages.  
  Either locally, on my system, or out of the net.  I would have 
  suspected that ``bad-HTML'' crashed my browsers except that bother
  netscape-4.0.5 and chimera running on my new 6x86 platform did not
  crash.  On that console, no problem.

  There are two things that seem likely: 1, something in my P90 
  environment is improperly set up.  I can't imagine what; I've
  narrowed it down to virtually zero.  Or 2, the XF86_W32 driver
  is buggy (or buggy in conjunction with the rest of v3.3.2.  I've
  got an old Tseng-4000 chip in my videocard in the P90, and a Matrox
  Millennium (XF86_SVGA).  The Matrox driver may be good; the other
  not.

  A third possibility is that when I upgraded from 2.2.5, something
  got fouled up; but this is reaching.

  Below is some output captured when I was running from xinit---yes,
  things bomb there, too; not just from xdm.  

  Ideas, people???

  thanks,

  gary kline
