My experience, there are only two ways of killing netscape:
1. from netscape or the window manager close function.
2. kill -9.
Last I tried, if I pressed Ctrl+C at the console running netscape in
the foreground, or if I try to kill it with -9, then it crashed and
can only be killed with -9.
So it seems that the cleanup routine that intercepts the signal is
buggy, and never returns.
