OK, I don't have a strict recipe, but I do have some strong suggestions. 
As I suggested earlier, try running an interactive GEMPAK session (with
output directed to X) at the same time as a Netscape session (or two).  Do
this for a while, generating several plots.  It doesn't cause a crash
every time, or even near that.  But I've certainly seen it cause a crash a
significant percentage of the time - probably in the 5 to 10% range.

I no longer run Netscape and GEMPAK at the same time (though others in my
department do - and the crashes continue). . .
