Flash has been a thorn in my side for years. I've been doing `killall
npviewer.bin`, but a few months ago I whipped this up in frustration:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Keep punching flash in the throat
#
while [ 1 ]; do
sleep 5
echo "Flash is evil and must be destroyed"
killall npviewer.bin
done

Not sure. I always thought it was an issue with flash itself, but maybe
it has to do with the linuxulator. I suppose a PR wouldn't hurt.
