About 2/3 of the way into this trailer, Epiphany will segfault:

Here's the console output:

Everything before the segfault seems to have nothing to do with this; the service browser message is because I'm not running avahi-daemon, not sure about the origin of the python-related ones (they probably involve extensions).

I'm not sure if this happens in other Mozilla browsers, and have yet to find another Flash movie that causes this, but I'm keeping my eyes open.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Haven't seen epiphany crashing on flash for a long while now, python error is gone, no response from reporter about issues in opera or konqueror.

Update: Galeon also segfaults. Apparently the only relevant console output is

Segmentation fault!
Cannot display crash dialog

This is something caused by the flash plugin, which we can't bugfix because it's closed source.

Does this flash file plays well in Opera and Konqueror?
