Package: gnash
Version: 0.8.7-2
Severity: critical

With current versions of gnash there appears to be a very severe memory
leak when running with at least some sites (I believe including the
media player on last.fm user pages such as http://www.last.fm/user/broonie
which appears to leak at approximately 10M/second).

Severity set to critical since this rapidly results in the system
becoming almost totally unresponsive to interactive use due to heavy
swap usage.  Given that I'm not browsing obscure web sites when this
happens I strongly expect this is a bug in gnash rather than in the
flash applications being run, or at least a lack of compatibility with
Adobe flash player.
