I'm sorry, you're right. I was completely ignoring the... ? Has there 
been any other traffic? Because there hasn't been on my end.

Okay. By "crashes hard", I meant: The Mac environment within the MOL 
window stops responding. The mouse moves, actually, but nothing 
responds to mouse-clicks, arrows, etc. If I leave it alone for an hour, 
nothing changes.

I couldn't think of a lot *to* try. 'Classic' Mac OS networking is 
theoretically supposed to "just work". I Google'd, but I couldn't find 
a Mac OS way to ping, dhcp release, etc. I investigated switching back 
to the Sheep net driver, but that seemed a dead end. (I don't have a 
sheep module, couldn't find information to generate one, and the 
available documentation seemed to steer me away from it in general).

There is none. Which is to say, there's the usual post-startup 
material, then nothing until I close the MOL window, then it relays the 
X messages ("window closed").

Is there a relevant log?

I believe it's 0.9.70-r1. (installed via 'emerge mol')

2.6.10
