Logging this as a seperate bug from bug 35914. 
Since shockwave player cannot be installed on mac (bug 35915) , I added the 
'Np-PPC-Dir-Shockwave' plugin file manually in mozilla's plugins folder. Then 
trying to visit the above url crsahed mozila (bug 36568).

From Erick Krock's email:
 "This is a bug with backward compatibility with existing plug-in binaries (sans 
LiveConnect)--a key goal of the Mozilla plug-in API. "

Shockwave crasher-->nsbeta2. SW is on b2 criteria. But we need to make sure this 
isn't just a problem with how SW was installed/configured. Shrir--let's see if 
MM SW contacts can help here.

I will try this again with a good build on mac and if it does not work, will 
contact shickwave. Thanks!

Marking this as dup of 35351, per mail from tstampfli@macromedia.com

" Bug #36569 is actually the same as bug #35351. See the note in the 
bug description for #35351 from Dan Sadowski - when Shockwave calls 
one of the function pointers passed in from the browser, Mozilla 
crashes.
