Well, consider yourself lucky, Tim, because the problem is real, not 
just purported!  If you read these newgroups you surely have seen 
reports of the problem from many folks, me included.  When it hits, 
programs like Watchcat, and CAD Commander show that Netscape is hung while 
exiting.

Now that I've increased my RAM to 64MB, I don't seem to have the problem 
anymore.
