linux-f10-flashplugin11 not works for 9-stable (Linuxulator?)

[Andrey Chernov]

Just in case it may help somebody: the cause (but not the root) of the 
problem is found and workaround too.

The cause of the problem is
::1                     localhost localhost.my.domain
line from our _standard_ /usr/src/etc/hosts which comes first before
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.my.domain
line. 

Linux takes the first match on localhost, i.e. ::1, then tries
        8605 npviewer.bin STRU  struct sockaddr { AF_INET6, [::1]:6010 }
it was last command from npviewer.bin, then it immeditelly terminates:
        8605 npviewer.bin RET   linux_socketcall -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call
        8605 npviewer.bin PSIG  SIGTERM SIG_DFL code=0x10001

The workaround is to switch lines order in /etc/hosts, i.e.
        127.0.0.1 localhost
        ::1 localhost
to make IPv4 one comes first. Flash works afterwards.

The bug affects IPv6-enabled machines with IPv4 over IPv6 preferred or 
maybe IPv4 too I don't know, but since we don't have such reports in mass, 
I think IPv4-only setup is fine.
