How to get firefox stuck in an unresponsive state.

Build these ports
firefox-1.0.2,1
linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_2
linuxpluginwrapper-20050320

Go to http://espn.com/

Watch firefox become unresponsive.

In top we see
29645 kargl     96    0 53452K 44028K lthr     0:09  0.00%  0.00% firefox-bin

and there she sits.  If one iconifies firefox, then de-iconifies
it, the window is never redrawn.

If we remove the mapping of libpthread to libthr in /etc/libmap.conf,
then we see firefox get stuck in a kserel state.
