So, hm, npviewer.bin eats all the CPU time?

No, the odd bits of that one are the fact that the intr threads irq17, irq256, and irq20; are showing up at all, and/or showing up with more than a fraction of a percent of cpu time. Usually they don't, and the fact that they did at that point in time was indicative of the fact that the "runaway intr" problem was happening. _Incidentally_ npviewer.bin was taking up more cpu than it usually does, but I think that's another symptom of the underlying problem.

Here is a typical, non-problematic top output while running a flash video:

I really wish people would stop focusing on flash here. :) It's simply the easiest and most consistent way that I have triggered this problem, it's not the only one.
