[CentOS] 200 Stream not found errors in flash player and firefox

[ken]

Rob, what are you doing to get the error message?  I.e., what command or 
application are you invoking and where does the "200 Stream...." error 
appear?

I've been having problems with flashplayer also-- for a long time and 
over many upgrades.  When, using firefox, I visit a site which invokes 
flashplayer, the cpu load begins to increase.... it can go from 0.4 to 
6.8.  If I then close the tab to that site, the cpu load goes back down 
to where it was.  I've talked with friends who use Mac OS X and Windows 
and they both experience similar problems with flashplayer, so I always 
assumed it was something in flash.
