Flash crashes

Well I have found one of the possible reasons for memory problems when running
Flash. After an incredible frustrating session trying to valgrind/gdb
nspluginviewer, I finally have some results:
1) Flashplayer has memory corruption internally. Valgrind told me this.
Macromedia has ignored every email I ever sent them, so I'm not inclined to
post any details here. They can find it and fix it themselves.
2) I know why it crashes with your example, and this is probably the last
remaining crash in nspluginviewer code. It's also probably the most
notorious. I think that a whole bunch of the code we have in there is
garbage, and needs to be removed entirely. Unfortunately I can understand
why it was originally put there, and it might introduce a memory leak. I
need to test this more before I commit the fix.
Thanks for the great testcase. Even with the testcase, it still took 3 hours
to fix this tonight so far. :)
