Public bug reported:

In my LTSP client, if I do the following:

 - browse to http://www.sgoss.org.uk/freshfaces/vacancies.htm in Firefox
 - wait for it to load
 - click the link that leads to http://www.sgoss.org.uk/home/maps.htm

Then, the client freezes.  The mouse pointer remains responsive and I
can VT switch to a terminal but Firefox and the desktop do not respond
to clicks.  The mouse pointer does change as I mouse over different
parts of the screen (spinning wheel over FF say but normal pointer over
the panel).

Other websites also cause the same type of freeze.  It is reproducible.

The culprit websites all seem to have flash movies in them.  I have the
64-bit flash player installed directly from Adobe.  Nevertheless, no
client app should be able to take down the X server.

My server machine is running 64-bit Jaunty, the client is running the
i386 version.
