It also happens with firefox, Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1.
Boom, crash, gone.

Found it: it was caused by libflashplayer v 6.something. Upgrading to the
current version solved the problem.

The remaining question is whether mozilla can and should protect itself from bad
plugins or not. If it should, then this is still a bug, if not, it's NOTABUG.
