>Description:
you click submit on his web page, and X grinds to a halt.
you can work fine from a VT, but X is completely unusable
and stays that way across Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
going to single user mode and back will fix it.
also, you get stuff like this in /var/log/messages:

May 28 20:36:09 hp0 /kernel: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped!
May 28 20:36:09 hp0 /kernel: xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped!
