build: 2002020406 win32 (0.9.8)

When I go to a site that has a flash animation (such as included URL), the
animation does not appear, and the status bar shows
"Starting Plugin for type application/x-shockwave-flash".

about:plugins shows that the Flash plugin is installed

File name: C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\plugins\NPSWF32.dll
Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41

I had an earlier 0.9.8 test installer build installed in this directory, then
uninstalled it and installed 0.9.8 release build in the same directory.

Disk cache field was empty.  Setting to 16384 and restarting makes the animation
appear.

Marking dup of bug 116562.
