the reason we do not ship a libc6 based communicator is that it will die often
and more often with SIGBUS errors. To test: open a ns window, use open new
window (so you have two). Close one of them. BOOM. No more ns. Also dies on
authenticating sites and other things. Last I heard it was related to a bug in
Motif <-> Xlib interactions and compiler optimizations.
