I'm seeing this occasionally. In some/most cases NS isn't dead, but
merely hung because of a delayed/bad PPP connection. In those cases,
just be patient and wait for it. Unfortunately, in the other cases NS
really has died, and killing it is the only solution, and there is no
telling these different circumstances apart. Alas, NS 4.5 solved some
problems from 4.0x, but introduced a few new ones of its own.
