Title:
  flashplugin-nonfree has memory leak

Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

  1)
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  2)
  flashplugin-nonfree:
  10.3.181.26ubuntu0.11.04.1

  3)
  I started Firefox 4.01 and opened the following address:
  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
  I expected the page to be loaded as usual.

  4)
  Loading of the page stopped at one point. From here Ubuntu not responded to anything (keystrokes, mouse move etc.).

  I figured out that Firefox's plugin-container process eats all available memory (See attached output of top).
  I tried to open that page with Opera 11.11 and the same happened. So it's not Firefox related.

  I am wondering the kernel's oom killer why didn't killed the plugin-
  container process. Even I had tried to change the default overcommit
  settings to vm.overcommit_memory = 2 and vm.overcommit_ratio = 50, but
  it wasn't helped. So maybe there is a kernel bug too.
