Hmmm, most peculiar.  My last update was Wed Sep 28 04:37:01 CDT.

Was your last kernel/world build a "clean" build?  You may want to try
updating your sources, nuking /usr/obj, and rebuilding/installing,
just in case there's a bit of incompatible cruft lying about somewhere
(not likely, I know, but it doesn't hurt to make sure).

Also, I have my plugins setup in a "local", rather than a system-wide
fashion.  I did do a normal install from ports of all of the relevant
packages, but then I either copied or symlinked the needed stuff under
${HOME}/.mozilla.  I remember when I first went about setting up the
flash plugin and the plugin wrapper, I couldn't get it to work properly
until I did this.

Honestly, I don't know exactly why I've been spared from this recent
round of complaints I've seen from people re: flash, acroread, etc. and
the linux emulator in general. I'm just glad that I have!  Must be
living right.  :-)
