2. Note that F1398665248_____________________________  signature shows twice.

Is this a function of Benjamin's fix that landed which is breaking out the plugin processes?

not only does that signature appear twice, but there are variants of it that appear multiple times:

@0x0 | F1398665248_____________________________
hang | F1398665248_____________________________ 

there are 37 variants of this signature containing that obfuscated Flash signature.

here is my explanation:

the original query asks for plugin crashes, but the display doesn't show the name of the plugin file.  I think what we're seeing is the same crash signature for two different plugins.  This query sheds some light on the issue:
