linux-f10-flashplugin 'assertion failed' messages

[Jos Backus]

    Hi,

I am playing a bunch of FaceBook Flash games on a very -current box using
Firefox 3.5.3, and while things mostly work (including sound), every few
minutes the browser becomes unresponsive and I see tons of messages like
these:

*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_New() wait for reply: Message timeout
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper/work/nspluginwrapper-1.2.2/src/npw-wrapper.c:1924):invoke_NPP_SetWindow: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(plugin->connection))
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper/work/nspluginwrapper-1.2.2/src/npw-wrapper.c:2534):invoke_NPP_HandleEvent: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(plugin->connection))

[repeated dozens of times]

To fix, I tend to `killall npviewer.bin' and reload the pages, which seems to
make things work again for a while, but that's a kludge. Is this expected
behavior because Flash/nspluginwrapper is just buggy?
