Bug#360509: Possible partial explanation?

[Massimo Savino]

Hi Eric, Justin and BTS ( !! )

I've eliminated the memory as the culprit, I think -- I switched it back to the same setup I had before the crashes.

On a hunch I tried running FF through sudo, with the usual warning to run it with -H .

upshot: Game-Warden's BSG forum runs perfectly, no lockups.


Poking around /root I noticed that its mozilla pluginreg.dat had an intriguing entry:
====
[ other stuff omitted ... ]

/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so:$
:$
1125802438000:1:1:$
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25:$
Shockwave Flash:$
2
0:application/x-shockwave-flash:Shockwave Flash:swf:$
1:application/futuresplash:FutureSplash Player:spl:$

====
My own pluginreg.dat contains no such entries, but if it did, I presume they would be pointing to the latest version of Flash; ie 7.0 r61/63, and not the version deemed insecure, no?

Does this help?

Cheers
M
