 |Ah, but the directions say to build it like so:

 |# make OBJFORMAT=aout clean all install

Hmmmmm.  Seems somebody's updated the help text in the port since I tried it:

    freebsd:...hes/-current/ports/www/flashplugin> ls -l */*
    Warning: cannot use both flags and wildcards with ls, using dir instead.

With the new instructions, everything builds and installs, but "pop like a
soap bubble" is right.  The plug-in doesn't assume control for
application/x-director stuff, but other things dump Netscape.  E.g.:
