[Opera-Linux] Opera v9.5 + flash usually work

[Kenneth Crudup]

Patricia- while we have your ear- is there anything that can be done about
operapluginwrapper sucking down all the CPU? While I'm sure y'all have
seen this and are doing anything you can, it happens quite frequently, and
almost always is connected to flash.

I'm running 64-bit (userspace too) Ubuntu 8.04 (but this has been going on
for a while) and the most usual test case is when npviewer.bin (the wrapper
for Adobe Flash for 64-bit) either segfaults (it does that a lot) or has
to be killed 'cause it, too, is sucking down a lot of CPU. operapluginwrapper
loses it afterwards, and takes 100% of CPU, usually looping while trying to
talk to the now-nonexistant wrapped process on the other end of the socket
(I'm sure I could post the relevant "strace" lines next time it happens,
which won't be too long from now, I'm sure).

While you're probably not blocking and have a small timeout in the select(),
maybe we could say that if we don't get an answer within what?, 1000 calls
we should give up?

I dunno, just thinking of an idea, and I don't know if I'm looking in the
right direction, but it seems that we should never be stuck in a tight loop
for any length of time.
