Here's some relevant info on the system, sorry in advance if some of
it doesn't format well:

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18.8.tex5 (vaughan at localhost) (gcc version 4.1.1
20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-4pclos2007)) #1 SMP Thu May 10 11:36:58

Shockwave Flash

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31

    MIME Type                            Description
Suffixes  Enabled
    application/x-shockwave-flash  Shockwave Flash      swf        Yes
    application/futuresplash           FutureSplash Player  spl         Yes


YouTube was fine for the last few weeks... until yesterday.  I'm not
sure why it stopped working, but I'm not convinced at this point that
Flash is the issue.  (I could certainly be wrong, but I'm not terribly
knowledgeble on Flash... I only use it when I gotsta. ;-)
