Description Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-30 19:52:42 UTC
See redhat bugzilla entry in url. netscape-flash-9.0.115.0 when wrapped in nspluginwrapper dies on many flash sites due to threading issues (possibly smp-only?). The bug always occurs if there is only one firefox session active, and sometimes occurs even if multiple firefoxes are started at the same time.

For a simple example, just go to http://www.speedtest.net
Part-way through the test, the flash will turn into a white square and stop responding.

nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-g_thread_init.patch

Patch. This is a modified version of redhat's patch from their nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-15.fc8 rpm (modified a bit since redhat applies 100K of patches to their nspluginwrapper for unknown reasons; we only need to change 2 lines to get the new flash working properly)
