Nope. I started having probs with swf_play, but I think that's not
connected as the last swf_play incidence was a couple of days ago. Also, I
have no swf_play instances running.

An internal web app uses flash, so I'd installed swf_play for that. Last
week that page started spinning flash players that took the load avg up
over 60. As I say, I don't think that's related. Could be, though.

Well, aside from not liking to do that I need to see if I can recapture a
few URLs from this session.

I can still open new URLs in the instance, so it might be possible to
switch tabs and go back and forth in them. I just need to know how.

Yeah, it might be X, but the rest of the environment is fine. I can even
max and min the warning popup.
