Nope, does not help. I still am getting npviewer.bin processes left
behind and never exiting, blockerd on futexes.

Another bullet proof way to block flash is to run firefox on the same
X display using two different users and try to start flash in both of
them. One firefox instance will deadlock, until other has exited.

This might be related to the original problem I complained as both
seem to be somehow related to futexes.
