In short, fixing this bug report requires reverse-engineering behavior of
the proprietary flash plugin. My previous attempts at that had failed, as
I believe I've noted before; and there is no guarantee that they'll ever
succeed. Use flash 9 for now, since we seemed to have managed to guess
what makes it happy (sort of, since it likes to crash with Qt-native event
loop, and lights up like a Christmas tree in Valgrind regardless). If you
want Flash 10 to work, you may be better off asking Macromedia Linux Flash
person nicely --- someone with the source code is in a far better position
than someone who has to try to figure out what a giant binary blob is
doing.
