(Get the code!)
I decided today to rebuild a local copy of flashplugin-nonfree and remove the dependency on libflashsupport. This has fixed all of the random crashes (with useless backtraces) that I was experiencing.
It seems that there is a bug in libflashsupport that causes the crashes. I can't find any easy way to generate additional useful information, however; the mere absense of that library stops my crashes. (This is a fully up-to-date Hardy).
I recommend that the dependency on libflashsupport be dropped, in light of this. These crashes are easily preventable, and Hardy can't be released with a browser that cannot even go to YouTube.
