Sounds like the window server dying. The window server is not perfect, and  
malicious / unusual /  flaky PostScript can tip it over the edge. Of  
course, when the server dies, so do all its clients.

I can do this relatively easily from pft or yap, but it isn't always  
reproducible. TopDraw does this quite frequently as well.

(Want to really have a blast? Try resizing an AppKit-managed window from  
within pft. It does interesting things...)
