Doing the specific actions below with Netscape 4.51 result in X exiting instantly.

How-To-Repeat: Open up http://irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc1459.html in Netscape
Press alt-f (to search the page)
Type in PONG
Press Enter 4-5 times.

The FreeBSD problem report database isn't the right place to raise this 
issue. It's either a Netscape problem or an XFree86 problem. You should 
take the issue up with a forum specific to one of those. For what it's 
worth, I can't reproduce the problem using Netscape 3.04 and 
XFree86-3.3.3.1 .
