I'm running x86 Sol8 + latest recommended patches with a noname S3 Trio3d
video card and the standard Sun provided Xsun. Under some conditions Xsun
will go into a loop and has to be killed and restarted.
The conditions are quite specific -- When using Netscape Navigator 4.7* and
clicking on a mailto: URL will trigger the problem; using Netscape 7
clicking on the Edit->Preferences will also trigger the problem.
In both cases a partially completed window is displayed and then Xsun loops.
I've managed to capture some stack info from a run with Netscape 7...

which indicates that there may be a problem with the S3 driver.
Is there anything I can try to work around the problem (other than
installing Xfree86?)
Thanks,
