What the heck can happen in Mozilla that > would take down Windowmaker altogether like that? 8th search result here is the wget binary itself (!!), so I guess Mozilla is doing some bizarre font-related request to X/Xft/whatever. X goes down (that's not unheard of), and of course it takes WM with it. In my case Opera doesn't crash (phew! its stability record is not one to brag about!) and neither X, but it gets painfully slow when it gets to render the 8th search result. This is what I see 20 secs after: ? ç?À@ P À @ ð2 p @ @ @ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿð? .text p ... ... Invalid PORT. ==> REST %ld ...

This seems to be their point.
