re: the flash issue a few things to note:

* This only affects the 64bit flash plugin on some cpus.
* Adobe hasn't actually officially released a 64bit version, they are all beta or preview, AFAICT.

So, the simple work around is to use the 32bit actual released flash plugin with nspluginwrapper for now.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash for more info on how to do so.

it's also important to note that flash is not the only application that has this problem. As noted elsewhere in the comments, even glibc had bugs around this
