This Is Not Good. This happens on my workstation too (I'm running 2.2.2, 40MB) when Netscape exits (never when it opens). It only happens when Java was loaded onto the browser to view pages with applets. All the windows close, yet the process remains and absorbs all the cpu in an infinite RUN state. The only way to kill it is with a kill -9. It sucks. I'm going to try a ktrace the next time it happens to see whats going on.
