Hi sparcmaster, Just tried this on two boxes here. I don't have a crash here.
On SPARC, Firefox will hang sometimes. And in some other cases, Firefox can play the test case you provided but the Firefox GUI have no response to my input(mouse and keyboard). On x86, almost the same, just I can play the test case and the Firefox GUI can still response to user input in some cases. Also tried to use rp 11, but failed... Maybe the realplayer guys can shed some light on this issue.
