I guess the short answer is no, recreateAll will probably NOT be called
outside of DynAPI.resizeHandler, but there's no guarantee...
When Netscape is resized, it destroys it's layers array. So while the
DynLayer objects still exist, the physical layers they represent do
not. That's why the .elm property gets altered.
How does your patch work?

The resize itself does something strange the elm propery of the DynLayer... All of the elm's properties still intact, but are not really accessable. This creates a problem when the deleteElement() (which attempts to alter the elms properties -- which are still there, just inaccessable) is called from recreateAll(). Also, usually before deleteElement() gets called, it's associated arrays are taken care of already (ie. unassigend, etc..), but this is not so in the recreateAll() method.
