Sounds to me like the infamous Netscape wrapper hit. If you get into something similar, run TOP and also look at CPU percentage. When netscape decides to get antsy, it will start trying to grab all your CPU cycles so CPU and load should be hittign the roof. As to the Kills not freeing memory...umm.

Hi debs. I get this weird behaviour: boot, xdm, login as me. In xterm: pon and run netscape to check on the mail. switch to vt1, login as root, to do some maintenance.

You almost certainly broke something. Netscape works fine on several different systems here. In fact it works great because of the magic wrapper scripts Debian installs. I suggest reading: http://www.debian.org/~hp/tutorial/debian-tutorial.html/ch-docs.html#s-docs-support then asking again. In
