There is the key right there.  32-bit.  Many of those who have
annoyances with flash run 64bit.  For me for example.  Flash will dies
either on some pages, i.e. the new dilbert.com, or after a certain
amount of time, so if I leave my browser up for a while trying to
maintain some information that I have up and then try to go to a flash
site.  suddenly flash is dead.  and it doesn't just affect new pages.
It affects anything that was flash that was previously open.
