Bug#578922: flash plugin crashes iceweasel with a null string contructor

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.16-4
Severity: normal

When I load this page http://www.hulu.com/plus and enter my email address it
takes me to a secure connection where iceweasel dies.

"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid"

This is first thing after a clean install of Debian 6. No other packages were
installed.

See http://www.codeguru.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-347057.html

That's just the first link I found googling the above message.

I ran MOZILLA_DISABLE_PLUGINS=1 iceweasel - no problems. The above page is
fine. So I disabled all my plug-ins and enabled them one by one and found
iceweasel dies when only Shockwave Flash is enabled - no surprise.

Hopefully Flash gets fixed.
