It's pretty funny!
If you are NOT moving the mouse and a page load is frozen, then what
is the netscape process state? Spinning CPU in COM? LEF?

If I had to make a WAG I'd go with a Pthreads issue, just because I
read a little about that yesterday :-). And I would try to peak poke
and prod the netscape image with $ ANALYZE/IMAGE/INTER and $ SET IMAGE/
FLAG=[NO]UPCALLS
