Collateral damage.  After I found the problem with SeaMonkey, it began
to occur occasioinally in Firefox, then later with npviewer, which is
part of the Adobe flash player systems that used to cause hangs,
similar to these (GIYF).  I haven't needed npvkill in about two years,
but why remove it if it may ever cause problems again?

Cheers.
