Hello,

after a recent system update my flashplayer(used with firefox) stopped working.

It always crashes with the following messages:
...
plugin-containe[4518]: segfault at b38c4004 ip b69340e1 sp b56964a8 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b68c4000+145000]
plugin-containe[4647]: segfault at b3a01004 ip b67c80e1 sp b552a4a8 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b6758000+145000]
plugin-containe[4649]: segfault at b3903004 ip b686f0e1 sp b55d14a8 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b67ff000+145000]
...

I tried to reinstall the flashplugin and even the package from adobe.com, nothing works, it's always the same error.

I'm using:
core/glibc 2.13-1
core/kernel26 2.6.37-5
extra/flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
extra/firefox 3.6.13-1

This task depends upon

As flash is closed source, there's noting we can do until Adobe releases a fix.

Ok, I made a downgrade to [flashplugin-10.1.102.65-1-i686] and it works fine even with the recent libc-2.13.
