Bug Description

If I go to the page http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7370285.stm in firefox on my ubuntu-7.10 installation, a gtk-gnash process starts up and proceeds to allocate memory at a rate of about 200MB/second without visible limit.

Installed gnash is 0.8.1-0ubuntu3, firefox is 2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10
