Well, I'm running an 8-current AMD64 installation.

I installed nspluginwrapper-1.2.2_4 and linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r32
today and now it's back to core dump city again.  Older versions of these
ports worked.

I have compat.linux32.maxssiz=4194304 in /etc/sysctl.conf, which used to
be all that was required for flash to work :(

I've now deleted both ports.

I can live without flash - just a report of my experience.
