Java plugin?

Bryn.
I have no idea. Maybe something to do with Flash.
Possibly, although I doubt it - I've never seen a flash plugin that attempted this but I have seen a number of JVMs do it (I assume it's something to do with jit), mostly older ones iirc, so it's probably worth checking for updates if you have a JRE installed that's not part of the distribution.

Bryn.

The offending file is a plugin called npviewer. Java was updated
yesterday. I think this was activated as a result of my attempts
to get Flash working with Firefox.

Fedora wraps all browser plugins with nppluginwrapper now - you need to find out what plugin that instance of npviewer was executing in order to know who to blame.

Bryn.
