To clarify: One of the points I am trying to make here is that Mozilla's defaults 
leave it wide open to being brought down by nasty or just-plain-flaky messages or Web 
pages.

Another is that even a clean install (with no remnants of earlier versions of Mozilla 
or of the IBM-branded browser or of Netscape to confuse it) of a supposedly stable 
release can get its knickers in a knot when one tries to exit.
