Gnash crash

With all the noise on this list with regards to Flash and others, I
decided to try gnash once again. Previously gnash would cause the
processor occupancy to max out on whichever machine I tried it on.

I don not care to run any Linux emulation on my systems. It is just a
personal thing. I run FreeBSD and feel that is being polluted if I have
to emulate any other OS. I have just ignored sites that required the
use of flash.

So, on to today's problem.

FreeBSD asus64.konav201.local 7.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #0:
Fri Jan 18 10:01:42 HST 2008
root at asus64.konav201.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ULE-GENERIC  amd64

All ports updated today. XFCE4 is my desktop and Firefox is my browser.
Gnash installed by ports.

Access a site that required flash. All seemed to work fairly well, i.e.
mouse was jerky and top showed firefox WCPU steadily climbing...and
then X crashed and I was back at the command line with this as the
final log data.

The application 'gtk-gnash' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

Firefox is basically unusable so I will need to remove gnash if I am
unable to find a solution.

Cheers
